> What is the purpose of this? Unfortunately not every 64-bit kernel version has had fully functional 32 bit backwards compatibility with userspace. As such, it is sometimes necessary to ship a 32-bit userspace iptables for 32-bit kernels and a 64-bit binary for 64-bit kernels - sometimes in the same OS image. The way I've done this is ship both binaries, one named *32 and one *64 and then have a launcher at * launch the appropriate one for the running kernel. To be fair, these kernels are pretty old at this point, OTOH, the patch is rather trivial and harmless. - Maciej -- 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
