Package: kernel-source-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: important
Tags: patch
After 25 days, the jiffies overflow and ipt_recent do not work anymore.
If ipt_recent is used with a '-j DROP' rule then backlisted IPs are blacklisted
forever, ignoring the --seconds option, so that you could be kicked out of
your server.
The only way to fix the problem is to reboot the server :-(
For more info on this problem please see this 2.6.x report (and patch):

Cheers,
Ludovic.

The 2.6.8 kernel is no longer supported by Debian so I'm closing
your bug report. Please try the 2.6.26 kernel from Debian lenny.
If this issue is still present, let me know.
Thanks.
