Hi again, Although I thought the ROUTE target was installed, the file ip_tables_targets is completely empty and it should contain the applied targets, shouldn't it? So, I'm trying to patch the kernel with the ROUTE target following the patch-o-matic tutorial in netfilter.org site. The problem is that when I click 'y' in order to install the ROUTE target/patch the following error message appears: unable to find ladd slot in src /tmp/pom-10667/net/ipv6/netfilter/Makefile The number in pom-XXXX changes each time I try to patch the kernel (it seems obvious as it is located in the tmp directory). Anyway, I don't know how to cope with this. As you can see, I'm not an experienced kernel patcher, so that's why I would appreciate any help you could provide to me. Thanks a lot, Javi 2008/6/17 Javier Gálvez Guerrero <javier.galvez.guerrero@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hi everyone, > > I'm a complete newbie with iptables.
