I understand Andi's reasons and they're perfectly valid. When I started to get involved with netfilter/iptables, I didn't know about the 32/64bit and alignment issues that exist in kernel/userspace interfaces at all. During the years however, I've suffered enough of this for the rest of my life. At this time I can assure him that greatest care was taken to not run into any endian, 32/64, alignment or other issues - at least to the degree of my (maybe limited) knowledge of this matter. I have scheduled testing over the next week, although it's a bit exhausting (and I'm too lazy) to test all the possible arch/endian/... combinations. > [...] more than ample time to do this, as this feature is > scheduled to go into 2.6.14 and we haven't even gotten 2.6.13 out > the door yet :-) ACK. -- - Harald Welte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
