pyctd 0.4.2 (pyctd branch)

This is a really neat application, however I was not able to get it to run on Debian Testing. I was getting a strange error message after installing “python-ctypes” “libnetfilter-conntrack1” through apt-get:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pyctd", line 27, in ?

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyctd/__init__.py", line 2, in ?

func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /usr/lib/libnetfilter_conntrack.so.1: undefined symbol: nfct_new


I will most likely have to come back to this and see if I can get it working.

pyctd 0.4.2 (pyctd branch) –
pyctd is a XML-RPC service for monitoring and
altering Netfilter connections for network admins.
It features connections listing (with the byte
rate of connections), entries removal, and
modification of connmark and timeout. By using
XML-RPC, frontends can be easily built. A PHP
frontend is already available.
