Update.
1998-11-21 Andreas Jaeger <aj@arthur.rhein-neckar.de> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/netinet/ip_fw.h: Removed. There are too many differences between the Linux 2.0 and 2.1 versions of this file and it's too difficult to convert all calls. The file should only be needed by the ipfw program which has to take care of the correct kernel version and include files. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Remove netinet/ip_fw.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_headers): Likewise.
