You can do this with the security layer, netfilter's ULOG, or even the netfilter connection tracking netlink sockets. That's 3 facilities by which you can accomplish this, and if none of them are perfect, add the small modifications you need to one of them to make them usable for your task. It makes no sense to add new facilities just for this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
