hi all,
2 questions:
is there any patched source of iptables (with p-o-m), which i can just
compile and use?
Nope. p-o-m is a separate patchset, which in order to use you must have
sources of both kernel and iptables. It then do its magic (patching the
source :)), and you then need to recompile kernel modules/iptables.
how can i upgrade from iptables 1.2.8 to 1.2.9, 1.3, ... etc? there is
a patch named patch-iptables-1.2.8-1.2.9, can i apply it on an
installed 1.2.8 one?

Gee, I've no idea. I always get the newest (stable) source, build a
package from it, and install... :) works pretty well. Basically... yes.
Patches are usually containing some bugfixes/new features, so this may
be the case... :) yet I dunno if you could dl patch 1.3.2 (for example)
and apply it over the 1.2.8 source, resulting the 1.3.2... I think in
order to get this source updated, you have to apply them one by one,
till you get where you want to... (again, this might not be the case. I
never did it that way).
