Hey all, i've been trying to do a combination filter using string matching and the "-j ROUTE" extras from netfilter but i cant seem to get them to work. Here's what i do, i got a source (2.6.16.5) from kernel.org untared to folder, got a copy of iptables (1.3.1) and untared that too, got me a copy of patch-o-matic-ng and untared also. I ran the p-o-m giving the folders with kernel and iptables source and apply the patch i want (ROUTE). Next, i start a xmenuconfig and compile the kernel making sure the "string" match option and "ROUTE" option are being installed as modules. Compilation and install goes fine, i reboot to the new kernel but when i try to use the string match i keep getting an error saying : "String match v1.3.5 (I'm 1.3.1)" i figured i have to upgrade iptables, but when i try a test using the -j ROUTE --gw it doesnt recognise the command. I did a search in the kernel compilation folder and there exists a _ROUTE.o file there. Im not really sure what to do from here, any help would be appreciated. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
