In current 2.6 kernel, net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_owner.c:checkentry() :

if (info->match & (IPT_OWNER_PID|IPT_OWNER_SID|IPT_OWNER_COMM)) {
printk("ipt_owner: pid, sid and command matching "
"not supported anymore\n");
return 0;
}

So... even netfilter, breaking backward compatibility, does not support
pid match anymore...
