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.
