The message is actually obsolete and should be changed. When the ULOG changes first went in they changed all *LOG targets to register as netfilter log backends and use these backends to log themselves. Since there can be only a single log backend currently for each family, this broke compabilitlity when multiple backends are loaded, which is why I changed it so the targets register as backends, but still always use their own log functions. I'm going to change this message in my next batch of patches to something like "not registering as primary logging backend for AF_..." to be less misleading. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
