Why not include the netfilter (iptables) requirements to genkernel's default kernel config? It seems that for ease of security this should be a part of any basic gentoo instalation unless specifically excluded. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
iptables is a pretty broad set of modules, especially w/ gentoo-sources. What should we add? The entire set of modules, or just those to get NAT and a decent firewall going?
The modules required to set up a decent firewall would scratch my itch, and I could certiantly see the NAT specific stuff being usefull as well. I'll leave it to bigger and better minds than mine to determine whether the full set of modules would be usefull. For what it's worth, once I've chosen to use a tool like genkernel, I'd rather spend the cycles and time to have *everything* compiled as a module and at my disposal.
livewire - if you have no objections, I will add these in to the 2.4 series as well as the 2.6 series default configs.
They need to be added to the kernel-config of each kernel patchset also
since you are doing genkernel now, here you go :)
err, this is really really old reopen if issues still exist with genkernel 3.0
