The three beta releases of Fedora core (distribution formerly known as Redhat) have had a problem with the recent module. They ship with 1.2.8 but attempting to load the recent module results in an error message because it cannot load libipt_recent.so. Is there a way to patch the iptables that ships with Fedora so recent works? Could I just drop this file from Mandrake's 1.2.8 in the appropriate directory? Will the "patch-o-matic" system do this and, if so, is there a FAQ on how to do this? Sorry for the noise. I've trolled the list archives and didn't see this mentioned. Bug has been filed against Fedora. Thanks.
