Re: [suse-security] Kernel update (8.1) breaks iptables owner module

I just updated to the latest kernel patch on SuSE 8.1. Now using
2.4.21-151-athlon. Iptables rules containing -m owner now give
"Invalid Argument" when run. A few experiments suggest this is a
general failure of the module, not just a particular filter line. It
is successfully loaded, and gives a different error message if, for
instance, I use --uid-owner with an invalid userid. Does anyone think
I can use an rpm of a later version of iptables without breaking
SuSEfirewall2? The rpm version of iptables in 8.1 is 1.2.7a-17. Would
it be useful to recompile it? Thanks for any advice.
AMI, rebuilding the 8.1 iptables src.rpm, with the athlon autoconf.h
linked to /usr/src/linux/include, fixed this.
