Works Fine For Me. Just to check with you.. did you follow properly the steps given in the netfilter-extensions-HOWTO ? (since the time match is still an extension for the moment, and is not merged in the official kernel yet..) http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.html or in German : http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/de/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.html Then, you should be able to see the ipt_time module : # ll /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_time* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9K Sep 18 16:20 /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_time.o and the userspace pair : # ll /usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_time.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.5K Aug 20 18:14 /usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_time.so* Can you see them ? If you cannot see either of them, it means you either forgot to recompile your kernel, or you forgot to recompile the iptables userspace part. Finally, if you want to use the time match or any other path-o-matic patch, make sure you are not using your distro's iptables package, as they will clash with the hand-installed iptables. (typically, if you use RedHat, you'd have to # rpm -e iptables --no-deps first, before you install you own version of iptables).
