Still there is no aroud officialy released iptables tarball with support

for rules for new xt_{connlimit,time,u32} modules.

Anyone know where are patches for manage connlimit, time, u32 rules which

will be included in next release ?

A well chosen thread to ask this question. xt_time is not even

included in 2.6.23.

And I don't see any mention of connlimit, time, or u32 in the Changelog for that...
I admit I haven't peeked inside the actual tarball to see if they added stuff

and didn't Changelog it...
