Maybe it could help someone :) RedHat RHEL3 ES Kernel was kernel.org 2.6.4 + iptables 1.2.9, pom-ng-20040302 Wanted kernel 2.6.6, have it, it works with Netfilter pom-ng :) But: pom-ng-20040302 had to be replaced with the CVS pom-ng tarball; iptables had to be replaced with 1.2.10 (CVS tarball). Setting make "KERNEL_DIR=" to the 2.6.6 source dir caused iptables (both 1.2.9 and 1.2.10) to abort the make, with all kinds of inconsistencies. However, cheating by setting "KERNEL_DIR=" to the (obviously pom-ng patched) 2.6.4 source worked. All the iptables kernel stuff works, iptables libipt_* libraries all work. So I'm happy. Unrelated to Netfilter: 'make xconfig' in Gnome 2.2 for the kernel resulted in no fonts (just small "squares"), so I had to use 'make menuconfig" for the first time. No skin off my nose, though. Best, and thanks for a *fine* mailing list. --Tonni -- We make out of the quarrel with others rhetoric but out of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry. mail: tonni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.billy.demon.nl
