Hi Juan,

There appears to be an error in the Netfilter extensions HOWTO.
As you can see from the INSTALL file in the userspace directory,
there is no "make all", only a "make" to build the binaries.

I think the patch below updates the documentation to reflect
this. Thanks for pointing this out.

Regards,
Filip

Hi Filip,  
	First, thanks for your help 
 
	I don't know if I'm looking another directory, but in my directory 
/userspace inside the patch-o-matic packet (I'm using 
patch-o-matic-20030107) there is no any INSTALL file, so, when I use 
"make" to build the binaries, I receive the next error message: 
 
	make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop. 
 
	Thank you very much 
 
		Juan

Hi Juan, 

Ok, I've just downloaded this pom tarball myself. 
The thing is: if you want to extend the netfilter/iptables 
functionality with new matches and/or new targets, you 
need to patch and recompile both your kernel and 
iptables userspace application. 

AFAIK, the patch-o-matic tarbal you downloaded can only 
be used to patch the kernel, but not the iptables 
userspace application. 

The iptables userspace command is compiled with a simple 

make && make install 

when the KERNEL_DIR variable is set correctly, and the 
kernel is compiled and installed the standard way. 

So, when you want to compile a new iptables program, you 
will need to download the iptables tarball and go from 
there. 

While you're at it, please realize that the patch-o-matic 
tarball you refer to is quite old - if you are using 
a recent kernel (i.e. 2.4.20+), you'll probably be 
better off downloading everything from CVS. 

Regards, 
Filip
