Antony Thanks for the link...

I need the information to install the netfilter on my RH 7.3 Box. The
link doesn't show the procedure....

Thanks and Best Regards,
Arif

PS: Somehow when I replied to the Antony's email it went to his personal
email address instead of the mailing list, sorry for that.

Sorry - I can't help with that one - I don't use Red Hat...   Anyone else 
here able to help with that ?

Arif,

From one of my posts last week, here is how I got iptables 1.2.7a
installed on a fresh install of RH73:

/*Raj*/

---------------

I am new to this mailing list and new to iptables. I have an x86 Linux
system running RedHat 7.3 as my SMTP gateway. The default RedHat install
was using iptables 1.2.5. I have recompiled my kernel (2.4.19) after
applying the latest netfilter "Patch-o-matic" and I have compiled and
installed iptables 1.2.7a.

I am more of a user and could not find any good HOWTO files for this, so
my example below is based completely on trial, error, and learning. :)
Please advise or correct me if I did anything wrong. To get iptables
installed on RedHat 7.3, I had to do several things:

1) Run "chkconfig --list" to verify the run levels for the
   installed iptables 1.2.5
2) Copy the "iptables" file from the /etc/init.d to a temporary
   directory for safe keeping.
3) Run "rpm -e iptables" to remove the installed iptables 1.2.5
4) Installed the new iptables 1.2.7a (/usr/local/sbin/)
5) Made symbolic links to the iptables files from the /sbin
   directory (RedHat default location)
6) Copied the "iptables" file from my temporary directory back
   to /etc/init.d directory
7) Run "chkconfig --add iptables" to add the service back into
   the RedHat configuration. *NOTE* I did not have to use the
   run level numbers.
8) Run "ntsysv" and enabled iptables
9) Rebooted my server. Iptables 1.2.7a started properly

Hope tis helps.
