(I think I got confused there.) If this is true, you have the string match from 1.3.3 installed (if you already had it, why build a new kernel/iptables ?) and are using iptables 1.3.5. (That means you have iptables-1.3.5 installed but didn't install string match 1.3.5 which would be true, reading below.) >> The string match is in the Extra repository. Did you run POM with >> "./runme extra" ? > > hmm no, I will do this now... I think that will solve your problem. (Remember to also recompile iptables..) Gr, Rob
