If you're using userspace daemons for netfilter then you're doing it
wrong. For instance, it has forced non-exsistent distinction between the
firewall, NAT and netfilter in your e-mail.
All these are merely the state of running kernel, and while you
certainly need userspace for configuring them, there's no need for any
userspace running for these things to function.
