Now after compilation of all things. i am getting this error. what that means my kernel is not compiled properly or my iptables have some problem [root@mail iptables-1.3.4]# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m string --string "/bin/sh" -j DROP iptables v1.3.4: STRING match: You must specify `--algo' Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
