Any tips on what to do with my SuSE 9.0 box? </snip>
do you have an ftp-server behind the box? What I found out for SuSE 9.0 is, that ftp-connections through the firewall boost up the connection-usage. Besides you can find out, how close you are to the
theres no ftp server behind the gateway. And
"kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet." messages, when you check the following:
linux:~ # cat /proc/slabinfo | grep ip_conntrack ip_conntrack 32566 32772 320 2729 2731 1
I haven't known that one thanks. But the machine is allready rebooted, I'll check this next time.
linux:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max 32760
Once the the number of currently active objects (in this case 32566) gets up to the number configured in ip_conntrack_max, then you'll get the "dropping packet"-message in /var/log/messages and then afaik all you can do is reboot.
Greetings,
Ralf
Thanks for your efforts marc
