You are right, its my very private kernel :-)
Doesn't this older iptables know where to look for its features in newer
kernels then? Maybe I'll just wait for Etch ... ;-)
Or maybe I will compile another kernel, tell it to make hashlimit as a
module and put the .so into /lib/ directly, although that would be kind of
desperate...
