from within a user-space ftp handeler we want to create an expected session for an ftp data session using libnetfilter_conntrack.
What is the expect mask?
how dose a conntrack expect relate to its associated conntrack entry?

can anyone send an example of using the conntrack user-space utility ?


is there any alternative way to create expects?
can anyone point us to code that successfully creates a conntrack expect?

thanks,
