netfilter buglog - Jul 2009 - [Bug 600] New: ULOG target does not support --log-uid

http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600

           Summary: ULOG target does not support --log-uid
           Product: iptables
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: iptables
        AssignedTo: laforge at netfilter.org
        ReportedBy: dom at earth.li


Verified against 1.4.2 (not listed as a version in Bugzilla).

The ULOG target of iptables does not support --log-uid, which makes it
unsuitable for certain applications which require this.

The use case I had in mind was a shared shell server, where it is important to
log the UIDs of certain outbound connections. It's also desirable to log
these
somewhere other than the globally accessible dmesg, for privacy reasons.

It would be great if this could be added in a future release.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Should be done in nfnetlink_queue.c instead. Untested patch below, also needs
support on the ulogd side.
