Re: [FW-1] Problem: fwconn_pending_intercept



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.

Subject: [FW-1] Problem: fwconn_pending_intercept

Hi,

anybody seen this in the logfiles:

fw: [ID 339752 kern.notice] FW-1: fwconn_pending_intercept:
ld_set_wto(conn_nsons) failed

The load of our firewall (NG FP2) goes up to 100% and we have a lot of
these
entries in the logfile.

Thanks for any hint.

M. Schwartzkopff
