Dear Bridgers, 

My apologies if this post sounds totally ignorant... 
any help is greatly appreciated... 
please reply direct to me and not the list: 

I am building a fresh new RH7.2 Linux box to serve as a bridging firewall. 

I have a 2.4.9 kernel which I recompiled with all my needed netfilter 
options.
However I have no brctl program , though I do see the bridge 
object files in /lib/modules. also the man page for brctl isnt installed. 

I downloaded the source tarball and compiled it, but how exactly should I 
go about installing it in the system ?  there is no make install target. 
Could someonen kindly tell me where the various files should go on my 
system ? Or should I just copy the brctl exec into my sbin and use it ? 

Also, should I patch my kernel with only the 2.4.9 patch, or with all the 
patches ? 

thanks
and sorry for the dumb questions

Nat
