Now the quote and time patches are selectable from a make menuconfig from the /usr/src/linux directory. However the string matching options are NO WHERE to be found. I don't understand why and thats why I need help." I'm _very_ confused here. First you say you can select the modules and now you say you can't. Things that's needed to get the stringmatch (and other p-o-m stuff working): 1. a patched kernel 2. an iptables compiled against that kernel 3. that you actually use that iptables and not the one from debian unstable. The Debian iptables package installs the libs in /usr/lib/iptables , the iptables you compiled installs the libs in /usr/local/lib/iptables. dpkg -r iptables -- /Martin
