Hi, regarding adding/compiling extensions for iptables. Why must the kernel be patched (stupid question); with the newer fedora kernels modules can be compiled via a Simple Makefile i.e. obj-m := libipt_random.o KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd) default: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules Is there a quicker way to get the extenstions or must I use the patch-o-matic? thx jason
