regression in xt_limit kernel module

[Victor Julien]

I noticed that in the Jaunty beta (i386), if I load the xt_limit kernel
module, the proc 'file' /proc/net/ip_tables_matches isn't updated with
it like it should.

On Intrepid:

$ sudo modprobe xt_limit
$ sudo cat /proc/net/ip_tables_matches
limit
state
udplite
udp
tcp
icmp

On Jaunty:

$ sudo modprobe xt_limit
$ sudo cat /proc/net/ip_tables_matches
state
udplite
udp
tcp
icmp

My Vuurmuur iptables frontend (in Jaunty universe) depends on this to
determine what functionality iptables supports.

Can you please confirm if this is broken in the released version of Jaunty ?

[Victor Julien (victor-vuurmuur)]

I can confirm it's still broken in my up to date Janty installation:

$ uname -a
Linux xw4400 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

iptables package version 1.4.1.1-4ubuntu3
