Need to upgrade iptables package ???

["Alejandro Cabrera Obed" <sisdis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi !!!

I have Linux Red Hat 9 / Kernel 2.4.20-8 / iptables 1.2.7a

This iptables version doesn't have the libipt_string module to analyse and
filter certain packet strings.

I ask you: can I download only the libipt_string module and install it on
/lib/iptables or do I have to download a newer iptables version packet and
upgrade my 1.2.7a one ???

I'm not an expert so I need the easiest way, and I need to know where I can
fetch it.

Thanks a lot !!!


Alejandro.
