hi
i dunno whether i have to mail here
i downloaded the latest path-o-matic version from the CVS
I dunno whether there should be a sequence in which one midule compiles over other..cos there were MANY problems while compiling the kernel
first the LOG and ULOG had duplicate function calls
then ipt_conntrack_core.c had some functions sumthing_find_get and sumthing_get but 
ipt_connlimit.c called these functions but it cudn't find it anywhere
also there were MAJOR problem of variables used but not defined...
and there was this dstlimit option which had many variables used but not defined]
one variable was some num_cpus variable or sumthing
am i doing anything wrong...if i am then can someone guide me that way i can help write some documentation which might help others like me 
i mean whas the point in building a firewall when u had to comment out majority of the code
Hope to find some information on this
thanks

you should pay attention because some patches could break others, so 
appliying all the patches is not a good idea.

patch-matic is a set of patches that are not included in the standalone 
version of netfilter/iptables because they are not considerated stable 
yet. So it's your responsability using them. In fact patch-o-matic-ng is 
still a work in progress.

best regards,
Pablo
