It depends on how you installed iptables 1.2.6a. If you installed it from your distribution package, then you have to use the package mangement tool to remove the iptables package : apt-get remove iptables (Debian) rpm -e iptables (Red Hat) etc. Hence, you can keep this package if dependencies want it. As an example, on Debian distros, a packet filter is required, ipchains or iptables. You can still install iptables 1.2.8 from source in /usr/local then set your PATH such as /usr/local/sbin is searched before /sbin. Finally, you can upgrade this package to the latest version : apt-get install iptables (Debian) If you installed iptables from source, then a new iptables installation from sources will overwrite the old one. However, files should be : in /usr/local/sbin for binaries (iptables*, ip6tables*) in /usr/local/lib/iptables for extensions in /usr/local/man/man8 for manpages (iptables*.8, ipt6tables*.8) Just delete all of them, if you want to be sure. Afaik, there's also a "make uninstall" available. -- http://www.netexit.com/~sid/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE
