They're the counterparts to the first pieces of the "next generation" netfilter subsystem that will be present in the 2.6.14 linux kernel release. libnfnetlink-0.0.11 ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/libnfnetlink/libnfnetlink-0.0.11.tar.bz2 This is the low-level communications library libnetfilter_log-0.0.10 ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/libnetfilter_log/libnetfilter_log-0.0.10.tar.bz2 This is the userspace library for nfnetlink_log in 2.6.14 It is used by the upcoming ulogd-2.00beta release Needs libnfnetlink-0.0.11 libnetfilter_queue-0.0.10 ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/libnetfilter_queue/libnetfilter_queue-0.0.10.tar.bz2 This is the userspace library for nfnetlink_queue in 2.6.14 It is used by applications that traditionally used libipq NuFW already has a working port Needs libnfnetlink-0.0.11 libnetfilter_conntrack-0.0.20 ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/libnetfilter_conntrack/libnetfilter_conntrack-0.0.20.tar.bz2 This is the userspace library for the ip_conntrack netlink interface It is currently only used by the conntrack program (see below) Needs libnfnetlink-0.0.11 conntrack-0.90 ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/conntrack/conntrack-0.90.tar.bz2 The userspace connection tracking table administration program Needs libnetfilter_conntrack-0.0.20 and : ulogd-1.23 http://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/ulogd/ ulogd is a replacement for traditional syslog-based logging (using the LOG target) in iptables-based firewalls. ULOG/ulogd has a different concept. Packets get copied to a special logging daemon, which can do very detailed logging to different targets (plaintext files, MySQL databases, ...). ulogd supports plugins for different output formats, as well as for new protocols/.. -thanks-
ulogd is already in Fedora Extras; that seems like a good place for these libraries to start out as well.
