Hi, I am wondering how I should combine various twisted interfaces in a way that makes sense. It probably shows here... that I'm new to twisted.
The Linux iptables can log packets to the netfilter_log which can give access to user space. I wrote a simple twisted Reader (IReadDescriptor implementation) that is working functional code... https://gist.github.com/david415/6789612 But since these are packets it returns... should I implement a "read only Protocol"? The protocol's dataReceive() method could be called from the NFLogReader's doRead() method. Does this mean that NFLogReader would be responsible for calling buildProtocol to construct the NFLogProtocol? In the normal Twisted examples the buildProtocol seems to be called from the react loop.. Should I pass the protocol factory and the reader to the service? If I want to drop privileges right after retrieving the filedescriptor for netfilter_log, shall I use a Twisted Service/Application to drop the root privs to a non-superuser? Should the privileges be dropped by the privilegedStartService() method? The manual says that method is for preparing to drop services... What I want out of all of this is the most high performance and general solution to utilizing netfilter_log in twisted... David
