For the record netfilter is a terrific tool. I am grateful for the time and hard work given by the netfilter team. I have kernel 2.4.21 netfilter - latest cvs. Built netfilter for extra added pptp support. Recompiled kernel -- netfilter. I have a win2000 pptp server behind a Linux firewall Dnat gre and port 1723 to the pptp server. I had 3 VPN connections working. When one closed the connection the kernel panicked and died. I could not recover the error message. I was forced to power off. I have used 2.4.19 with Brian Kuschak's 2.4.19 pptp patch without problems. He no longer supports the patch. I was hoping to upgrade the kernel. Unfortunately the 2.4.19 patch will not work on 2.4.21 and the pptp netfilter patch will not work for me. I had to roll back to 2.4.19. I have several firewall installations and need PPTP and the ability to keep kernels current. Has anyone looked at Brian's code to see if it is practical to be incorporated by the netfilter team? Any help would be appreciated. --John Hill
