Anyway, Harald had already made a patch for pom without telling,

I worked on 2.4.22 Debian kernel sources (patched), but in vanilla
kernel 2.4.22, the files you're talking about are identical to the
Debian sources (which contain only a few patches).
And I maintain that my patch is against ip_conntrack_core.c...

This is crazy, as I'm aware that Harald's patch what against
ip_conntrack_standalone.c... but I just downloaded a fresh 2.4.22
kernel from kernel.org, and I can swear that sysctls are in
ip_conntrack_core.c (and not ip_conntrack_standalone.c).

rv@comet:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/net/ipv4/netfilter$ grep sysctl *
ip_conntrack_core.c:#include <linux/sysctl.h>
ip_conntrack_core.c:static struct ctl_table_header *ip_conntrack_sysctl_header;
ip_conntrack_core.c:unregister_sysctl_table(ip_conntrack_sysctl_header);
ip_conntrack_core.c:    ip_conntrack_sysctl_header
ip_conntrack_core.c:  = register_sysctl_table(ip_conntrack_root_table, 0);
ip_conntrack_core.c:    if (ip_conntrack_sysctl_header == NULL) {
ip_queue.c:#include <linux/sysctl.h>
ip_queue.c:static int sysctl_maxlen = IPQ_QMAX_DEFAULT;
ip_queue.c:static struct ctl_table_header *ipq_sysctl_header;
ip_queue.c:     { NET_IPQ_QMAX, NET_IPQ_QMAX_NAME, &sysctl_maxlen,
ip_queue.c:  sizeof(sysctl_maxlen), 0644, NULL, proc_dointvec },
ip_queue.c:  ipq_sysctl_header = register_sysctl_table(ipq_root_table, 0);
ip_queue.c:             goto cleanup_sysctl;
ip_queue.c:cleanup_sysctl:
ip_queue.c:     unregister_sysctl_table(ipq_sysctl_header);
ipt_REJECT.c:   /* FIXME: Use sysctl number. --RR */
ipt_ULOG.c: *            nlgroup now global (sysctl)
rv@comet:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/net/ipv4/netfilter$

Has someone an explanation, before I'm going nuts?
