I am certain of it, having augmented ipt_LOG/xt_LOGMARK temporarily by 
appropriate printks.

No, sock_i_uid also uses sk->sk_socket. What is interesting though is 
that sock_i_uid uses SOCK_INODE(sk->sk_socket)->i_uid, but xt_owner uses 
sk->sk_socket->file->f_cred->fsuid. Would you have an idea as to why 
that is?
Dave Howells (cced) did the last change on it.
