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?
