Operation failed: such conntrack doesn''t exist - when it does?
Hi gurus I want to destroy all state table entries/reset all connections
for a particular client. When I issue conntrack -L -s <ip number>, it
lists loads of state entries. When I issue conntrack -D -s <same ip
number> it answers "NFNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
Operation failed: such conntrack doesn''t exist."
I have googled the problem, but can find only either unanswered or
"there was actually really a bug in conntrack on that kernel verision,
it is now fixed" posts from a while back.
Is this an error or is my syntax wrong/I am doing something silly?
Debugging info, including kernel version and strace (I am root):
