Hello!

I am runing a firewall start/stop script that on stop does:
for i in $(ls /lib/modules/<version>/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_*); 
do modprobe -q -r $i; done

It now hangs on any of the modules, but curiously the module is removed 
(lsmod does not list it, but ps ax shows that modprobe -q -r <module> is 
there and it can't be killed either) I can't tell since when this is 
happening (disable_modules is not enabled).
Could this be related to the added disable_modules options, even if not 
enabled (sysctl)?
Maybe the recursion built into modprobe -r interacting with the new 
feature?

Peter
