I understood you earlier to say only one family (in kernel) can own a group else it is an error, no? So there is "somebody" but not "everybody" BTW, refer to my earlier email in response to Patrick. I think preserving a group per family is also an interesting idea. i.e the first 2^16 are reserved/static and the others are in all for grabs area. > At least when I want to enforce > root/non-root binds which is a further goal.

I think its useful to have the filters in the kernel when possible/sensible (one of my beefs against netlink in general is it lacks that). cheers, jamal > johannes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
