Add modules to iptables

Add modules to iptables

[Alejandro Kurchis]

Hi folks !!!

I have Red Hat 9 with Iptables 1.2.7. In iptables, I have all the default
modules (ip_nat_irc, ip_nat_ftp, etc....) that came with this version af
iptables.

If I want to add extra modules like ip_conntrack_h323, ip_string or any
other.....Do I have to re-compile iptables or is there any easy way to do
that ??? How can I do this pease ??? I'm not an expert so I like the simple
way....

Special thanks,

Alejandro

I don't recall all the details since it has been a while since I patched
a system but I think you'll find all the information you need in the
patch-o-matic documents.  You can start with

Good luck - John
