Thanks for the help Jan and Andrew. I've got xtables (combined) and it
built and installed fine. When I run iptables --version, it matches
what's given in the versions file in the source distribution. My problem
is that the TARPIT target doesn't seem to be recognized. When I try to
add a rule with the TARPIT target, it says "iptables: No
chain/target/match by that name". I've tried using rules that work
otherwise, for instance, changing from DROP to TARPIT, and it still
doesn't work, so it's not the rest of the rule that is the problem.
I found libxt_TARPIT.so in /usr/local/libexec/xtables/. Is it in the
wrong spot or something? Also, my service runs from /sbin/iptables, but
this is soft linked to /usr/local/sbin/iptables: could this be part of
the problem? I did this so my package manager doesn't overwrite it any
point, but maybe it was a bad idea?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
-Brian

Thanks a lot for the help, Andrew. The iptables source I have
doesn't have a configure script...oh, but it does have an autogen
script. I guess I was probably supposed to use that first. But it's
a moot point, apparently, because of xtables, so I will be
switching to that.
Released tarballs should have configure; for autogen, you usually
need (even more) developer tools than you do without, like
autoconf, automake, and the other autowhatevers.
No moot point; iptables still is, as of today, the name of the
userspace package and control program.
