Here's some relevant lines from my .config. I think I have what I need, unless it's "multiple tables" support, which I don't understand to be the issue: linux#grep -i table .config # CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_LARGE_TABLES is not set CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m # CONFIG_IP_NF_ARPTABLES is not set Someone on the mid-atlantic linux list suggested that I am behind on versions, that apt-get can't be relied on to be up to date. I haven't had the time to check this out yet. Also, I don't quite understand how that matters. shaun_oliver at optusnet.com.au writes: > From: shaun_oliver at optusnet.com.au > > janina, did you indeed compile iptables support into yer kernel? if you > didn't, that might explain your problems. > hth > > -- > Shaun Oliver > > A plethora of individuals with expertise in > culinary > techniques > contaminate > the potable concoction produced by steeping certain edible > nutriments. > > email: shaun_oliver at optusnet.com.au > ICQ: 76958435 > yahoo: blindman01_2000 > MSN: blindman_2001 at hotmail.com > IRC: irc.angeleyez.net > IRC NICK: blindman > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175
