Hi,
Here goes the second release canditate of 2.4.28.
It contains a network update (which is composed of several smaller changes
- IPVS, SCTP, Netfilter), a collection of ACPI bugfixes, a SMBFS client
buffer overflow fix (which is very hard to exploit - the attacker needs to
control packets from the server), amongst others.
This is going to be become 2.4.28 if nothing bad shows up.
Please help with testing!

This patch removes atm_lec_info but not the user of this function,
resulting in the following compile error:

You must have mispatched, here is a grep I just did in Marcelo's
current tree:
davem@nuts:/disk1/BK/marcelo-2.4/net/atm$ egrep atm_lec_info *.c
davem@nuts:/disk1/BK/marcelo-2.4/net/atm$

No, he patched it right, I got it too and found where it broke :

That's why your grep did not find it ;-)
Is it enough to remove these 3 lines ?

Indeed, good catch.

No, it isn't, I'll fix this up.
Hi Marcelo,
just started a compile on alpha last night and looked at the results this
morning. 'make vmlinux' ends with the following errors. It is fairly possible
that it comes from my gcc/binutils combination (because I found that I compiled
previous kernels with gcc 3.2.3), in which case I will fix it later, but I'd
like someone with an alpha to check it on his side before the final release.
Cheers,
Willy

Ok, just replying to myself.
I found an old gcc-2.91.66 which compiled it correctly on this machine. So
it might be a compiler/binutils issue.
