Hello linuxers,
Gotta a problem. I have RH= L 9.0 installed with a customized iptables filter+ squid proxy running on i= t.This linux box is natting a few ports into the internal netwk. where I ha= ve my web server+ mail server installed. Now the PROBLEM is that, I keep ge= tting an error "ip_conntrack table full dropping packets" and the= n the internet connection speed on the clients drops like anything although I have a leased line here. I have googled bout the problem, it seems that = the 2.4.20 kernel has this vulnerability. I have downloaded 2.4.24.tar.bz2 = kernel. But, I want to make sure whether installing this new kernel will so= lve the problem ??? If any1 could give me an alternative or guide me = how to go about installing this kernel without errors, I would gr8ly apprec= iate it.
Regards,
Abdul.
