I was wondering if someone might be able to explain this to me. I was reading the output from dmesg, and found the following entry. CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please use nf_conntrack.acct=1 kernel parameter, acct=1 nf_conntrack module option or sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=1 to enable it. I'm still learning my way around as far as system administration goes. I'm not familiar with nf_conntrack. I tried adding net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=1 to the end of my /etc/sysctl.conf file, but the messagestill persisted after re-boot. Can anyone point me to an explination (A) what the message means? (B) if I need to worry about it? (C) how to activate nf_conntrack_acct if I so choose? I'm not doing anything fancy here, just running arch on a laptop. As I said, I'm still learning, but not apposed to expanding my limitte knowledge of linux. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
