    May I quote Solar Designer (on www.opemwall.com about the release 
    of the openwall patch for the 2.4.x kernel ):
    
      Linux 2.4 is NOT going to be supported until 2.4.10 or so. 
    
    Robustness to attacks depends not only to a well done setup of your
    iptables script, it also depends on your kernel.
