Just my 2 £. xt_owner: - add xt_owner v1 - remove xt_owner v0 in 2009 - add xt_socket v0 (duplicate code/rename) - remove xt_owner v1 a year later - add input path processing xt_socket: - add xt_socket v0 now - remove xt_owner v0 in 2009 - add input path processing (no interface changes) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
