Is iptables still needed for kernel 2.6.x? I see a lot of iptables patches go into the kernel, but not much updates on the www.netfilter.org. The logo on netfilter says firewalling, NAT and packet mangling for Linux 2.4. So I guess much of the code goes directly into the kernel? Also does kernel 2.6.3 support Netmeeting and MSN Instant Messengener, or I need the following plug-in, http://www.kfki.hu/%7Ekadlec/sw/netfilter/newnat-suite/?
