Subject: now to increase ip_conntrack_max in 2.6.28?

I need to increase the number of connections that netfilter can track on a
production server, to avoid "ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet"
messages.
On 2.6.24 (ubuntu 8.04) it was:
echo 524288 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max

On 2.6.28 (ubuntu 9.04) the entire /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter directory is
missing. Moreover, 

find / -name ip_conntrack_max 

returns NOTHING.

How do I increase this?
