But whatever patch, i try to apply i get the message "n missing files "(n=1,2,3 etc..) and patch fails. Is it possible to apply only the random patch and skip others. Also why am i getting these missing file messages. I took the iptables source from the location ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/iptables/iptables-1.3.6.tar.bz Thanks Uttee ########################################################################## Welcome to Patch-o-matic (1.17)!
