I guess I am confused, when you say recompile do you mean the os kernel or just iptables? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pablo Sanchez" <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 2:51 PM Subject: RE: PATCH-O-MATIC (installation issue) > -----Original Message----- > From: netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Joshua C. > Clark > Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 2:47 PM > To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: PATCH-O-MATIC (installation issue) > > > maybe this is a dumb question maybe it isnt, but can I download > the vanilla > kernel and run it on my redhat box? More than likely you will be able to. FWIW, on my Suse 10.x box, I downloaded the vanilla kernel, compiled it and am running with it. From there, I was able to compile iptables and build from there. Before I did the above, I had a whack of problems. Cheers, -pablo
