ctnetlink oidentd patch (was: Re: Connection track logging)

[Martin Josefsson]

Hi everyone,

I've put up my patch for oidentd to use ctnetlink for lookups instead of
using /proc/net/ip_conntrack which is very slow when yo have many
tracked connections. I'm using it in a production NAT-router here
without any problems, works beutifully.

this requires that you have compiled libctnetlink, it's part of ctrace.

you will need to change the libctnetlink path in Makefile.in and in
src/linux.c

you will probably be required to change at least list.h from the kernel
includes to allow you to include it from userspace... there's a
possiblilty that more changes are required, it's been a while since I
compiled it.

Good luck, you may need it :)
