Re: Connlimit problem

["Omar Garcia" <omar.garcia@fractalia.biz>]

Hi all!!

Thanks.!!
Now I know that the module isn´t compiled. (cat /proc/net/......)
I had patched kernel source with POMng but for any reason the connlimit
patch didn´t apply. I am recompiling a new kernel and patched it from zero.

Thanks, I`ll post my advances.
Regards.
