Sorry. I have put the config file up now
http://jfmxl.sdf.org/linux-3.14.57-vs2.3.6.15/linux-3.14.57-config.html
I'm afraid that if user namespaces are defined - and they are - and I
disable them, then functions of ipfire that rely upon them will fail.
Now or in the future. I've read the page you refer to once ... I'll have
to read it several more times before I understand what it means. Thanks
very much for your help.
