Hi all,
I needed help w.r.t. connection tracking on a Linux box running Mandrake 9.1 acting as a router and firewall (configured through Shorewall). All outbound connections are NATed though the firewall public ip. Inbound connections are only allowed into the DMZ. I need to track down users behind the firewall who are doing long running heavy downloads. Is it possible to get such information from the firewall? For example, can I get info on which connections have been active for the longest time. Or which tcp connections have transported the most number of bytes? /proc/net/ip_conntrack lists the active connections but I cannot get any info on the time the connection has been up, or the amount of data that has transported through it. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Amit Murthy |
