Hello

I had ipt_conntrack.o loaded (see last mail) and then removed. But still
my /proc/net/ip_conntrack got filled up.
Then I did "echo '10000' > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max" and it=20
still raised.
Now, after waiting 10min or so the values are slightly falling (I had
fear that it crashed when reaching 0xffff)..

Are the first two events signs for a bug or is it expected behaviour
that somehow the conntrack code remains in the kernel even if the module
has been removed?

bye,

-christian-
