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
