freeswan kernel module - syslog a disaster
 
Hello all:

Debian woody kernel 2.4.20 unstable



Previously was using kernel 2.4.21 unstable with no errors. I wanted to use freeswan, and it will only compile against 2.4.20.

So I compiled the standard debian way with initrd and freeswan patch (freeswan 2.01)

Syslog is now a mess, and the freeswan server brings my internet connection to a snails pace, if it works at all.

I have included a section of my syslog from boottime, along with some other info. Any light you can shed would be helpfull.

An update

Tried another compile with 2.4.20 kernel with same syslog entries - still bad data

Did some more searching and found why freeswan kernel module would not compile against 2.4.21 - the 2.5 IPsec stack has been included in 2.4.21 - so a patch was necessary to the module source, which involved some edits to four source files and some new header information
anyway long story short it compiled.
Good news: the bad syslog entries disapeared.
Bad news: Connection is still hazy
The connection to the internet is real slow on first start of IPsec server - then it settles down to "normal" after a minute or two
meaning speed returns to semi-normal, but I am unable to access certain sites indescriminately -
syslog shows dropped packets during the connection losses as I surf the internet:
Aug 24 03:03:06 noc kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:04:75:a1:b3:e9:00:60:0f:4f:d3:e2:08:00 SRC=63.211.210.20 DST=68.209.111.12 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=46 ID=44238 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=37754 WINDOW=17520 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0

Aug 24 03:03:20 noc kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:04:75:a1:b3:e9:00:60:0f:4f:d3:e2:08:00 SRC=63.211.210.20 DST=68.209.111.12 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=47 ID=24947 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=37754 WINDOW=0 RES=0x00 ACK RST URGP=0

my current IPTables config should match any ip_conntrack entry (related,established), so the culprit might be there -
so I am trying to find a quick monitor of ip_conntrack - as tail -f doesnt seem to work on this file
no idea why ipsec would interfere with this file, or if that is the real source yet

anyone know a good gui for ip_conntrack? or why ipsec would change connection states there?
