I agree with this. Take it one way or another, the basic idea was
Wensong's
and I only did the porting to 2.2. I only wanted to help everyone get
the 2.2
patch out as soon as possible and I have implemented it in my own way,
not
because I wanted to neglect Wensong's work, but because I was using my
intuition when writing the code.

That would be great. Wensong already posted an example... Just send me
anything
you all agree upon and I will include it into the source code. Licensing
problems was the last thing it was on my mind when preparing the patch.
I appologize for my mistake and will appreciate any help from the
mailing list.

I am willing to delete and add a new one. From my perspective, it can
state that the code was written by Wensong and rewritten or ported by
me.
I can also change the configuration text in the config.in file. Any
suggestions?

Hopefully yes. I would like to keep the code as a part of the Wensong's
project
and have therefore included the Wensong's URL instead of building MY own
web
site for MY :) Virtual server project. I am still optimistic about that
and still
hope the Virtual Server community will adopt the patch. If you/they
don't, I
will not be insulted, I have had great time hacking linux kernel.
I do admit, my communication to the mailing list was preety minimalistic
when
I was writing the patch. I wanted to implement the basic Wensong's
functionallity,
expose the code to the public as soon as possible and wait for the
comments and
bugs to appear. The code is here, the comments are here and we are
discussing
them, all that I am missing are bug reports (anyone?) ...
Cheers,
Peter
