Hi, I am trying to apply the "random" patch using patchomatic ng, but I am unable to apply it successfully. It refuses to show options for the random patch, saying "random does not match your source trees, skipping...". It then jumps to "raw" patch. The kernel version on my test machine is 2.6.14.2 and iptables version is 1.3.4. The dsitribution is CentOS4. I downloaded the latest "patch-o-matic-ng-20040621.tar.bz2" from http://www.netfilter.org/. The command that I used for patching was: # KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.14.2/ IPTABLES_DIR=/root/iptables-1.3.4/ ./runme base I have made sure that KERNEL_DIR and IPTABLES_DIR path are correct. I had also tried using two other kernel versions earlier, 2.6.9-5.0.3 and 2.6.9-22.0.1 with Iptables verion 1.2.11, but had got same results. Thanks Vikarnt
