Should be correct. Then you
# cd patch-o-matic
# ./runme userspace/ipt_REJECT-fake-source.patch
if the patch tells you it applied correctly then
you need to recompile your kernel then
# cd ../userspace
# make all install

reboot with your clean kernel. If the patch doesn't apply for some reason,
let me know.

Have a nice day,

Fabrice.
