Hello. I've tried to subscribe into netfilter mailing list, but failed. I did not receive no mail from there (for two days already). So I'm trying to mail directly to mailing list. So CC answers to me. In any way, thank you in advance for your time. My problem is that when I issue: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 23 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 10 -j REJECT I have an error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name It seems to me that I have not patched kernel, as I do not have /usr/src/linux/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_connlimit.h in my kernel sources. From HOWTO I know that I need to run runme to patch iptables and kernel. But when I issue command, it tells me that I've already have patched kernel and iptables. Look: ************listing of runme************* # ./runme connlimit Hey! KERNEL_DIR is not set. Where is your kernel source directory? [/usr/src/linux] Hey! IPTABLES_DIR is not set. Where is your iptables source code directory? [/usr/src/iptables] /root/iptables Loading patchlet definitions...................................................................................... done Welcome to Patch-o-matic ($Revision: 3733 $)! Kernel: Â 2.6.11, /usr/src/linux Iptables: 1.3.1, /root/iptables 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: Excellent! Source trees are ready for compilation. ****************end of listing runme********************* I had the only kernel in my directory. I have right symlink. I exported KERNEL_DIR, IPTABLES_DIR, tried vanilla sources, but still no luck. Why ./runme tell me that everything is patched although it's not? How runme checks that I have this patch installed? Can I can install patch manually? BTW. iptables are patched normaly and I have: /usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_connlimit.so file. What is the problem with kernel. Where is my problem? Thank you for your help in advance, Peter.
