Correct. You need to patch your kernel, and recompile the iptables utility. > I've tried running patch-o-matic like so > ... > KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.19 | ./runme base (this is run from > within the patch-o-matic directory) Should be a semi colon and not a pipe.. > Everything looks like it works fine, so I go to my kernel source directory > and run a 'make menuconfig' but I don't see any new options for any of the > extension patches that should be installed now.

I guess you should read the netfilter-extension-HOWTO from there : http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.html There is a problem though (fixed in the CVS, but not yet updated on the HTML page..) you shouldn't run # make patch-o-matic, but instead from the patch-o-matic directory, you should run the ./runme script with the patch suite you want to apply as a parameter. The corrected SGML source of the document is there : http://cvs.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/netfilter/documentation/HOWTO/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.sgml Have a nice day, Fabrice. -- Fabrice MARIE "Silly hacker, root is for administrators" -Unknown
