Pretty!

I am using iptables.  Do you think I can just remove
conntrack?

Check the full command for that PID because I wouldn't expect the firewall to have a process like that.

$ ps ax | grep [5]617
    5617 ?        Ss     0:03 /usr/sbin/conntrackd -C /etc/conntrackd/conntrackd.conf

I also looked at

# dnf remove conntrack

No sign of iptables in that.

It's a process primarily for managing and synchronizing the connection state in a cluster.  I don't know why you have it installed, it's not default for workstation at least.

Years and years ago, I installed from Xfce's Live USB.
A lot of weird stuff got installed when I upgraded
from fc36 to fc37.  Netfilter for one, which did a job on
my iptables.

Did you do a server install?

No.  I am a believer is doing a dead level
minimalist install and then adding what
services you need as they arise.

You can certainly delete it if you want.

Thank you for the confirmation Sam!

Oh and silly me!  If I was worried about iptables
not working if I removed conntrack, all I had to do
was a simple test:

# systemctl stop conntrackd

And blessed silence in my log file.  Test outgoing
ports I know are blocked with tcpping to verify
my firewall is still working.  Then

# dnf remove conntrack

restart my firewall.

Happy camping has returned.

All these years I never knew how to trace down
what program was using what port in Linux.
I now have it written down!

Thank you all for the help!
