Re[2]: ipt_limit patch for iptables-1.3.1 and linux-2.4.22

[borg@uu3.net]

Well.. patching only kernel or only userland is pointless indeed.
I still dont understand "brakes userspace"
I assume that we patch both iptables + kernel.
Where is the problem then?

Back to adding that to mainline...
First, ppl must have add this to kernel.
and after kernel.. you can add it to new iptables
its easy to detect what kernel is in use
by #ifdef and you can add/remove support for !
in libipt_limit.c.

You seem to forget about old versions that don't have your
patch. 2.4 doesn't support revisions, so we can't make
that change.
