-m string not working

[spamtrash2@xxxxxxx (Udo Rader)]

hi all,

I've got a problem with the iptables 1.2.7a string-module. 

No matter what I try I always get the following:

----CUT----
% iptables -A INPUT -m string --string 'the bad string' -j DROP
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
----CUT----

any ideas or is this a bug?

thanks

udo
