Not yet! I have upgraded one of my systems to Rh7.3, but its a system behind
my RH7.2 based firewall. I''m slowly but surely bringing all the apps
back
on-line. I''m currently working on getting BigBrother http://www.bb4.com
to
once again monitor my network infrastructure. Plus, this new version of
snmpd is really staring to piss me off!!!!

When I get to upgrading my firewall to RH7.3 (hopefully this week), I will
post my findings regarding this topic. 

Tom,
Just in case I do have problems with iptables on RH7.3, shouldn''t I be
able
to load the iptables patch you have on your website? It would be nice to
have a fallback plan in place. I guess if all else fails, I can just
recompile the kernel from kernel.org.
