Hi,

I want to update "RULES" in netfilter from a kernel module similar to
iptables doing the same update from user space.

Is there any references or docs to above scenario which can help me out ?

Regards,
Ajith

I don't know whether netfilter exhibits any APIs for the other modules 
to do that.

However, I could think of a work around using "call_usermodehelper()". 
You can execute a userspace program (say, iptables) using this function 
from kernel space.
