Ok, I got the latest svn. However I have trouble to get a diff between it
and my working copy. "svn diff" only diffs the existing files and does
generate a patch for new files.

Anyway, I attached this tar.gz file which is extracted into netfilter
directory. Then run "patch -p0 Makefile.diff".

I don't write a 'match' for expire timers because it is already available
through 'match conntrack' with ctexpire option.

It is only available for kernel 2.4, at least for now.

Richard

=========================
The related man page part is,

   CTEXPIRE
       This is used to modify the conntrack expire field.  The conntrack
expire field determines how much time left (in seconds) for the conntrack.
The conntrack will  be  deleted  or changed to a new state when the expire
field reachs 0.

       --ctexpire-set value
              Set the conntrack expire value to `value' (in seconds).

       --ctexpire-dec value
              Decrement  the  conntrack  expire  value  `value'  (in
seconds), i.e. make it live shorter.

       --ctexpire-inc value
              Increment the conntrack expire value `value' (in seconds),
i.e. make it live longer.

========================
The help of iptables is,

CTEXPIRE target v1.3.0 options
  --ctexpire-set value          Set conntrack expire to <value>
  --ctexpire-dec value          Decrement conntrack expire by <value>
  --ctexpire-inc value          Increment conntrack expire by <value>
