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

[borg@uu3.net]

Okey.. So you saying that my system is broken?
I have patched kernel + iptables.. installed new
kernel + iptables.. but userland is not updated..
It it bad?
I know it is when there are major changes in kernel
so userspace cannot see them. But in that case I think
its not a big problem since this is only used in iptables?

I know that its necessary to rebuild world when new kernel
comes... but I think, this is not a case in that situation.

Or am I wrong again?

Thx for your patience,
Borg

new kernel + old userspace = broken
old kernel + new userspace = broken
