which brings us back to connlimit... take a test machine, follow the
procedure for patching your kernel via POM, and instead of making and
installing the kernel, do a 'make rpm' and upgrade your production
firewall with that rpm (after testing it, of course)... making &
installing iptables from source will default to /usr/local/sbin, so it
won't interfere with your rpm-installed iptables.
the question "i want a feature from POM, but don't want to have to
compile anything" isn't very much in the spirit of linux, IMHO...maybe
i'm just a crusty old man in that respect.
