Maybe you have a too old version of iptables or maybe the p-o-m ng it's too new for your quite old (2.4.20) kernel. Why don't updating the iptables to the last version and also the kernel to 2.4.27 so you have to recompile both of them? -- Jose Maria Lopez Hernandez Director Tecnico de bgSEC jkerouac@xxxxxxxxx bgSEC Seguridad y Consultoria de Sistemas Informaticos http://www.bgsec.com ESPAÃA The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
