The error fwconn_pending_intercept: ld_set_wto(conn_nsons) failed may appear on the console and in /var/log/messages on systems running FireWall-1 NG FP1, FP2, or FP3. This resolution outlines possible causes of the error and how it can be corrected. FireWall-1 keeps in each table four different representations for each connection, also known as "links". Each link represents the connection from different points of view (client side inbound, server side outbound, server side inbound, client side outbound). By default FireWall-1 will not allow a connection unless it succeeds in creating all the links in the connection table. However, in cases of high load, when using Network Address Translation, or when using Security Servers there could be cases where links from expired connections remain in the connection table. In such cases, trying to create a new identical link would fail. There is a workaround for it for FP2.
