help
If this option is enabled, the kernel will include support
for logging packets via NFNETLINK.
This obsoletes the existing ipt_ULOG and ebg_ulog mechanisms,
and is also scheduled to replace the old syslog-based ipt_LOG
and ip6t_LOG modules.
# Rename this to NF_CONNTRACK in a 2.6.25
config NF_CONNTRACK_ENABLED
tristate "Netfilter connection tracking support"
help
Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
into connections.
This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
Address Translation (except for Fast NAT). It can also be used to
enhance packet filtering (see `Connection state match support'
below).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK
tristate
default NF_CONNTRACK_ENABLED
config NF_CT_ACCT
bool "Connection tracking flow accounting"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK
help
If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
keep per-flow packet and byte counters.
Those counters can be used for flow-based accounting or the
`connbytes' match.
If unsure, say `N'.
config NF_CONNTRACK_MARK
bool 'Connection mark tracking support'
depends on NF_CONNTRACK
help
This option enables support for connection marks, used by the
`CONNMARK' target and `connmark' match. Similar to the mark value
of packets, but this mark value is kept in the conntrack session
instead of the individual packets.
config NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK
bool 'Connection tracking security mark support'
depends on NF_CONNTRACK && NETWORK_SECMARK
help
This option enables security markings to be applied to
connections. Typically they are copied to connections from
packets using the CONNSECMARK target and copied back from
connections to packets with the same target, with the packets
being originally labeled via SECMARK.
If unsure, say 'N'.
config NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS
bool "Connection tracking events (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_CONNTRACK
help
If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will
provide a notifier chain that can be used by other kernel code
to get notified about changes in the connection tracking state.
If unsure, say `N'.

help
If you are running the Amanda backup package <http://www.amanda.org/>
on this machine or machines that will be MASQUERADED through this
machine, then you may want to enable this feature. This allows the
connection tracking and natting code to allow the sub-channels that
Amanda requires for communication of the backup data, messages and
index.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_FTP
tristate "FTP protocol support"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK
help
Tracking FTP connections is problematic: special helpers are
required for tracking them, and doing masquerading and other forms
of Network Address Translation on them.
This is FTP support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.
Layer 3 independent connection tracking is experimental scheme
which generalize ip_conntrack to support other layer 3 protocols.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_H323
tristate "H.323 protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_CONNTRACK && (IPV6 || IPV6=n)
help
H.323 is a VoIP signalling protocol from ITU-T. As one of the most
important VoIP protocols, it is widely used by voice hardware and
software including voice gateways, IP phones, Netmeeting, OpenPhone,
Gnomemeeting, etc.
With this module you can support H.323 on a connection tracking/NAT
firewall.
This module supports RAS, Fast Start, H.245 Tunnelling, Call
Forwarding, RTP/RTCP and T.120 based audio, video, fax, chat,
whiteboard, file transfer, etc. For more information, please

config NF_CONNTRACK_IRC
tristate "IRC protocol support"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK
help
There is a commonly-used extension to IRC called
Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC). This enables users to send
files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or
have others initiate chats, or everything else in IRC.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_NETBIOS_NS
tristate "NetBIOS name service protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_CONNTRACK
help
NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an
unprivileged port and responded to with unicast messages to the
same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
of "ip address show" should look similar to this:
$ ip -4 address show eth0
4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
inet 172.16.2.252/24 brd 172.16.2.255 scope global eth0
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_PPTP
tristate "PPtP protocol support"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK
select NF_CT_PROTO_GRE
help
This module adds support for PPTP (Point to Point Tunnelling
Protocol, RFC2637) connection tracking and NAT.
If you are running PPTP sessions over a stateful firewall or NAT
box, you may want to enable this feature.
Please note that not all PPTP modes of operation are supported yet.
Specifically these limitations exist:
- Blindly assumes that control connections are always established
in PNS->PAC direction. This is a violation of RFC2637.
- Only supports a single call within each session
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_SANE
tristate "SANE protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_CONNTRACK
help
SANE is a protocol for remote access to scanners as implemented
by the 'saned' daemon. Like FTP, it uses separate control and
data connections.
With this module you can support SANE on a connection tracking
firewall.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_SIP
tristate "SIP protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_CONNTRACK
help
SIP is an application-layer control protocol that can establish,
modify, and terminate multimedia sessions (conferences) such as
Internet telephony calls. With the ip_conntrack_sip and
the nf_nat_sip modules you can support the protocol on a connection
tracking/NATing firewall.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_TFTP
tristate "TFTP protocol support"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK
help
TFTP connection tracking helper, this is required depending
on how restrictive your ruleset is.
If you are using a tftp client behind -j SNAT or -j MASQUERADING
you will need this.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

help
This option adds a `CONNMARK' target, which allows one to manipulate
the connection mark value. Similar to the MARK target, but
affects the connection mark value rather than the packet mark value.
If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
<file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. The module will be called
ipt_CONNMARK.ko. If unsure, say `N'.
config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_DSCP
tristate '"DSCP" target support'
depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
help
This option adds a `DSCP' target, which allows you to manipulate
the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_MARK
tristate '"MARK" target support'
depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
help
This option adds a `MARK' target, which allows you to create rules
in the `mangle' table which alter the netfilter mark (nfmark) field
associated with the packet prior to routing. This can change
the routing method (see `Use netfilter MARK value as routing
key') and can also be used by other subsystems to change their
behavior.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE
tristate '"NFQUEUE" target Support'
depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
help
This target replaced the old obsolete QUEUE target.
As opposed to QUEUE, it supports 65535 different queues,
not just one.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFLOG
tristate '"NFLOG" target support'
depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
help
This option enables the NFLOG target, which allows to LOG
messages through the netfilter logging API, which can use
either the old LOG target, the old ULOG target or nfnetlink_log
as backend.

config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CONNSECMARK
tristate '"CONNSECMARK" target support'
depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES && NF_CONNTRACK && NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK
help
The CONNSECMARK target copies security markings from packets
to connections, and restores security markings from connections
to packets (if the packets are not already marked). This would
normally be used in conjunction with the SECMARK target.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS
tristate '"TCPMSS" target support'
depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES && (IPV6 || IPV6=n)
---help---
This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the
MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that
connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU
minus 40).
This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this
problem are that everything works fine from your Linux
firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large
packets:
