Subject: [RFC] patch for invalid packet time from ULOG target of iptables
Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 07:16:00 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030824141600.93849.qmail@web40508.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

I've just started playing with the ULOG target in
iptables, and I've noticed that the 'timestamp_sec'
member of the ulog_packet_msg_t struct paseed to
the user is always 0 for locally generated packets.
I was thinking of patching the ipt_ulog_target
function in net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ULOG.c to
check if timestamp_sec is 0 and if so, set it
to the current time by adding code to test
'timestamp_sec' after it's been set. E.g;

    pm->timestamp_sec = (*pskb)->stamp.tv_sec;
    pm->timestamp_usec = (*pskb)->stamp.tv_usec;
+   if ( pm->timestamp_sec == 0 ) {
+      pm->timestamp_sec = currrent time;
+   }

Any comments?
