It downloaded eventually. So looking at this quickly, basic question: is xtables2 different API wise from what we do today in act_ipt? Second: Are chain names unique system wide? i.e at the moment we send a hook and table selection? The patch i have currently for the kernel tries to pursue an approach that maximizes code reuse - depending on your answer I may go the approach of having a separate act_xt and hope you can build on top of that. cheers, jamal
