RE: How to update IPTABLES from 1.2.7a to 1.2.8

["Daniel Chemko" <dchemko@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That is a patch file. Since you don’t have the sources for 1.2.7a that patch does nothing for you. Download the full 1.2.8 sources and build them as you would for any other package under the sun.

 

Requirements to build:

- You need the kernel sources for the kernel you are using

- Know where Redhat packaged everything and emulate that. EG. SBIN_DIR=/sbin or something like that and LIB_DIR=/lib. Otherwise, everything goes in /usr/local/* which may or may not be what you are looking for

Subject: How to update IPTABLES from 1.2.7a to 1.2.8

 

I have looked on the Internet and I cannot find any documentation on how to update my IPTABLES.  I run RedHat 9.0 with the 2.4.20-8 kernel.  I downloaded the patch-iptables-1.2.7a-1.2.8.bz2 file and uncompressed it to get a single file.  I don’t know what to do with this file now that I have it.  Please help if you can.
