you can disable the loading of the ip_conntrack helper modules, unfortunatly i think the main ip_conntrack is compiled into the kernel, (last time i checked), so you will still need to tweak the /proc/ settings to have a bigger contrack list.
I tend to keep the shorewall ulog and iptables, but configure them as a host only firewall to protect the router itself. mvh Ronny Aasen On Sat, 2004-11-20 at 11:56, Eric Spakman wrote: > Joe, > > If you are not doing any NAT, you can disable the loading of the > conntrack module(s) in /etc/modules. > If I understand it correctly and you do plain routing only (no > firewalling), you can also remove iptables.lrp, ulogd.lrp and > shorwall.lrp.
