problem with hook function for DHCP

[Subhash Gopinath <subhashg@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I am facing problems capturing DHCP packets sent from a client to a server....
Basically, the hook function (defined below) is not getting called for
each packet going out of the system.. Any ideas ?

Thanks in adv,

#define DHCP_SERVER_PORT 67

unsigned int out_hook_func(unsigned int hooknum, 
                       struct sk_buff **skb,
                       const struct net_device *in,
                       const struct net_device *out,
                       int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *))
{

        struct udphdr *udp_hdr;
        struct sk_buff *sb = *skb;
        unsigned char *dhcp_hdr, *ptr;
        unsigned int len, sub_id, xid;

        printk (KERN_INFO "Here\n");
        /* Check if the message is valid and is a UDP message */
        if(!sb || !sb->nh.iph || sb->nh.iph->protocol != IPPROTO_UDP)
                return NF_ACCEPT;

        /* Check if the UDP message contains DHCP in the payload */
        udp_hdr = (struct udphdr *)(sb->data + ((sb->nh.iph->ihl)<<2));
        if(udp_hdr->dest != htons(DHCP_SERVER_PORT))
                return NF_ACCEPT;

        printk(KERN_INFO "DHCP packet\n");
        return NF_ACCEPT;

}
