I need to add the extenions for iptables. I am running Fedora 3. I downloaded patch-o-matic which lets me add the extensions I need. Here's what I have done so far. 1. Download patch-o-matic, kernel sources, etc. 2. Installed the kernel source. 3. Ran iptables runme -extra and installed the quota patch 4. Complied the kernel according to this site: http://www.cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0010.html 5. I restarted and booted into the new kernel that appeared in the grub menu. 6. I ran the iptables command to apply the quota patch: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m quota --quota 2147483648 -j ACCEPT and I got this error: iptables v1.2.11: Couldn't load match `quota':/lib/iptables/libipt_quota.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 7. I ran make menuconfig and I found the kernel module marked for Module. Which to me says that it is configured in the new kernel. Is the module loaded? Yes, according to... [root@localhost ~]# modprobe -l | grep quota /lib/modules/2.6.9-prep/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_quota.ko What is going on here?
