extension modules in patch-o-matic

extension modules in patch-o-matic

[Seferovic Edvin]

Hi all,

 

I am kinda new to extension modules, but I could really use some of them (
ip_limit, accounting etc ). The problem I have is following.. after I
download patch-o-matic and try to implement it I cannot find e.g. ip_limit
module :-( where did it go? Is it already in iptables? I cannot find it
there neither... 

 

I use iptables 1.2.9 / kernel 2.6.5 ( Suse Lin 9.1 x86-64 )!

 

Any help is appreciated !

 

TIA

make sure you are following this process:

cd /path/to/patch-o-matic
KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-$VER IPTABLES_DIR=/path/to/iptables-src ./runme
[select desired patches]
recompile kernel
recompile iptables
reboot with new kernel
ensure that your PATH points you to your new iptables binary and not
some distro-provided iptables

HTH...
