No official kernel sources contain the ipt_dstlimit.h file. The header file was added to the iptables source as forward-compatibility until the dstlimit feature is submitted to the kernel. > Why would my 2.4.20 kernel source tree have an outdated ipt_dstlimit.h file? That's due to the RedHat policy on how to add and maintain features, which hasn't yet been submitted into the official kernel. > Can I just move my RedHat 7.3 box from 2.4.20 -> 2.6.7 without worry of > bugs/issues? I don't know how stable that new kernel is. If you worry about the 2.6 kernel tree, you are free to use 2.4 - except that use a standard kernel source release from kernel.org instead of a vendor-specific one.
