(a) the iptables userspace package uses _init (b) xtables is a generic term for protocol-independent code/components (c) xtables-addons's kernel parts are based on an unmodified kernel source. (d) xtables-addons's userspace parts are based on an unmodified iptables source. > * Mon Feb 11 2008 Thomas Woerner <twoerner@xxxxxxxxxx> 1.4.0-1 > - new version 1.4.0 > - fixed condrestart (rhbz#428148) > - report the module in rmmod_r if there is an error > - use nf_ext_init instead of my_init for extension constructors Not only did RedHat manage to blow up on (c) for RHEL5/CentOS because of excessive backporting, but now they also crippled their iptables package with that nf_ext_init, breaking ALL extensions out there. I wonder how they managed to not break the compilation of the extensions inside the iptables package -- because these continue to use _init and its substitution was just nuked by that patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
