don't load iptables modules arbitrarily none

Description Curtis Doty 2006-12-21 20:30:29 UTC 
I guess this is just a style issue. But why bother loading all the iptables
modules when producing a sysreport for a system that does not use them and
really doesn't desire them?

Solution is quite easy. Attached is a patch that only lists chains of tables
that are already loaded in the kernel. I.e. it prevents sysreport from
arbitrarily loading the rarely-used mangle module, for example. Beware, hardly
tested.

it's fixed in 1.4.4-1 in rawhide. Many thanks for the patch.
