You have to get the ReiserFS patch for 2.2.x. Check out this link for tips on applying
the patch:
http://www1.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/tree/Persons/bauer/new/linux-patches.html
and
http://lists.omnipotent.net/reiserfs/200101/msg00047.html
As for 2.4.x, check out a security advisory here:
http://www.tempest.com.br/advisories/01-2001.html
There are other problems with iptables that i've read about on Bugtraq, i'd suggest
searching the
archives.
When you say compile, do you mean configure? You have to apply the patch, but don't
you then also
have to go in and configure (using "make menuconfig" or whatever) it too?
Hope that helps :-)
