hi

i would like to use conntrack_tools on my centos server.
i use the rpms from centalt
but when i launch

conntrack -C
I got
conntrack v0.9.13 (conntrack-tools): Can't open
/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_count

Does someone already succeed in using it?

Thanks in advance for any answer

5 minutes of google-ing gave me answer:

You need to also install 'libnetfilter_conntrack" rpm, at least it looks
like it.

Visit http://centos.alt.ru/pub/conntrack-tools/ and download appropriate
rpm's, or download from RPMForge, but alt.ru version looks newer.

A quick note to the rpmforge-suggest mailing list is generally all it
takes to get a version bump for existing packages.

Out of curiousity what does "uname -a" return on that system? If you
could paste the _full_ output here it would be helpful. Thanks.

The conntrack* modules create those virtual files.

The conntrack_tools package is looking at the wrong directory it seems;
I believe it should be looking at /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter.

Thanks. I was curious if this might be a case of a kernel without the
necessary support such as an OpenVZ kernel. That doesn't seem to be the
case here. See my last response for what I believe to be the cause of
the issue you are having.

i look through the sources and the path is hardcoded

don't work.

You may want to take this up with the centalt people since it seems to be a
problem with their package not with CentOS.
