Is it possible create a static or shared libs(i.e libiptables.so or libiptables.la) from iptables.o, which have been created after compilation of iptables-1.2.7a. If it possible,please, explain me how can I do it. You can ask me - Why? Because I want to use it from my application by traditional way(as a general libs). P.S. Sorry for my English. I just study it yet. :( Victor V Ismakaev
