Indeed, thanks. I understand now why you dislike it.
I guess I've just been lucky that I prefer compiling my own kernels anyway, I
don't mind a strange patching mechanism so long as it works, and I've not
joined the mailing list because I've found the info I need in the
documentation or in the list archives.
I agree with the point made earlier however that it's a very poor situation if
the 2.6 kernel IPsec won't allow filtering unencrypted packets.
