I think I may have a clue on where to start.  I was looking at the 'isapplied'
script that came with patch-o-matic.  In line 32 it references a command that
doesn't exist for me.  It reads as such...

MISSING_FILES=`patch -R -s -f -p1 < $PATCH | grep "No file to patch" | wc -l`


I have no 'patch' command and there isn't one anywhere under my netfilter
directory I got from CVS.  I'm not too keen with shell scripting, so I'm not
sure how the absence of a patch command will effect the overall workings of the
'runme' script.


Is this as it should be or is something wrong with the patch-o-matic that I
downloaded?
