Now, xt_geoip is never loaded (nor are the other ones).

Dear Vieri

Could you please explain why you don't want the module xt_geoip to be loaded? For Linux system, loading it really doesn't matter. This loaded module takes about 16KB in RAM, so as much as nothing, and really in combination with GeoIP lists it "does the job". I have an internet-open port tcp/22 on which OpenSSH daemon works. How do you think almost 90% of bruteforce logins come from? As not otherwise, only from CN ;-) Combined with the fai2ban program the threat is solved. Attackers are being blocked by dynamically adding addresses to the Shorewall blacklist when they try to log on badly.

Best regards
Witek
