Hello,
Noino a écrit :
Is the a correspondence to be obeyed between the versions of the Linux
kernel version & the iptables program ?
Specifically, I run a Linux kernel 2.6.5. My actual version of iptables
is 1.2.9. Can I replace the latter with an up-to-date version without
conflict (or else, up to which version?)
I have successully used an old iptables 1.2.11 with a recent Linux
kernel 2.6.24, but not the other way around.
- and in the positive, is there
anything to be gained from a new iptables program working with the older
kernel ?
- Bug fixes.
- If the old iptables is older than the kernel, support for some new
matches, targets and options. For exemple the "comment" match support
requires Linux kernel >= 2.6.9 and iptables >= 1.3.0. (OK, this match
may not be interesting enough to justify an upgrade)
