Today marks the first discovery of a ulogd GPL violation

It's actually not really all that important, but today I found the first product that distributes my ulogd program in a GPL incompliant way.

To my biggest surprise, it's not a Firewall/Router/WLAN device, but rather a NAS. Still have to figure out where, how and why they use ulogd on it, but it's there (and no source code [offer]).

ulogd-2.00beta1 release

Finally, there is a first public beta version of ulogd 2.x

If you use (and like) ulogd-1.x, you should definitely have a look at the 2.x release. Apart from packet-based logging, ulogd-2.x now also support flow-based logging. This means that you can just run this daemon (and a recent 2.6.14/2.6.15 kernel) to log per-connection meta data into text files, syslog, mysql, postgresql, or sqlite3 databases. If you enabled per-connection packet/byte counters in your kernel config, you even get flow-based accounting.

If you're interested, check it out at netfilter.org/projects/ulogd.

Bug-reports welcome. Don't ask for too much documentation at this time, rather contribute some :)
