Hello, This is my first post to this list. I've just started using iptables and I very much like it, except for two little things -- (1) I tried the following command: iptables -A OUTPUT -m connrate --connrate 1024 -j ACCEPT and got this error message: iptables v1.2.11: Couldn't load match `connrate':/usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_connrate.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (other match modules like connmark seem to work fine) To solve this I tried looking for related config options in my kernel and I think I pretty much enabled everything (I know it's not a good idea). Then I recompiled iptables but I still don't seem to have libipt_connrate.so. I've noticed that there's a .C file with a similar name in my iptables source tree, but it probably just doesn't get compiled for some reason. I also tried using patch-o-matic, which brings me to my second problem: (2) No patch in patch-o-matic could be applied. I tried: KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux IPTABLES_DIR=/home/cyber/Installs/iptables-1.2.11 ./runme base and got: Kernel: 2.6.10, /usr/src/linux Iptables: 1.2.11, /home/cyber/Installs/iptables-1.2.11 Each patch is a new feature: many have minimal impact, some do not. Almost every one has bugs, so don't apply what you don't need! ------------------------------------------------------- Already applied: CLASSIFY_more-hooks amanda_offset-fix Testing conntrack-acct... not applied The conntrack-acct patch: Author: Harald Welte <laforge@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Status: Stable If you enable this option, the connection tracking code will keep per-flow packet and byte counters. Those counters can be used for flow-based accounting or the `connbytes' match. If unsure, say N. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to apply this patch [N/y/t/f/a/r/b/w/q/?] y cannot apply (10 rejects out of 12 hunks) ----------------------------------------------------------------- This happened for every patch that followed. The patch-o-matic I downloaded was patch-o-matic-ng-20050130. (I'm using Slackware 10 with kernel 2.6.10) Sorry for the long post and the for the newbie questions. But if you can help me somehow I'll be grateful.
