libnetfilter_queue in VM

["U.Mutlu" <for-gmane@mutluit.com>]

Hello,

has any of the developers, testers or users tested the libnetfilter_queue
library under openvz VM's?

When I boot my debian system with an openvz kernel then this library
works only on the host node (HN), but not in the virtual machines (VM),
even after granting all possible capabilities like NET_ADMIN etc. to the VM.

In the VM the call to nfq_open() succeeds, but nfq_unbind_pf() and
nfq_bind_pf() fail by each returning -1. What do you think could be
the reason it's failing? Could it maybe a Selinux-issue?

I would like to ask if any of you has successfully tested/used this library in VM's?

Regards,
U.Mutlu
