Upgrade Iptables...

Upgrade Iptables...

[Didier Hung Wan Luk]

Hi All,

I have redhat 7.3 with kernel linux-2.4.18-10 and I want to use iptables 1.2.7a.

When I compile iptables do I need to recompile my kernel to use the 1.2.7a version of iptables?

Hello Didier,

You will want to apply the patch-o-matic to your kernel and then
recompile your kernel prior to compiling and using the 1.2.7a version of
iptables. I could be wrong, but I do not think that the default RedHat
kernel has all of the necessary iptables modules.

Hi Raj, 

How do I do the  patch-o-matic, I mean if you send me the steps to do
patch-o-matic on RedHat 7.3.  I couldn't find the  patch-o-matic
documentations.

I'm new to Linux and trying to learn as much as can with the help of you
guys....

Thanks and Best Regards,
Arif

Unfortunately that FAQ is out of date and now completely *incorrect* for
the new Patch-o-Matic (PoM). And on a RedHat type system even the
documentation included with the package does not work. :(

The proper procedure would be to set your environment variable for
KERNEL_DIR first. This is from a posting on 10-Sep-2002 by Fabrice
(Thank you Fabrice!)

# KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4 ./runme pending
or
# export KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4; ./runme pending

Of course be sure to set your KERNEL_DIR to the correct directory and
read the "INSTALL" file that comes with the PoM package to ser the
appropriate patch options. We should get the package maintainers to
correct the FAQ and the PoM dox.

Hi Raj/Everyone,

You mean  by  KERNEL_DIR, location of the complied kernel or source
kernel, also I couldn't find the source kernel directory in RH 7.3,
which I installed with default packages.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Arif

a patch named patch-iptables-1.2.8-1.2.9, can i apply it on an
installed 1.2.8 one?
