I just installed ipf 4.1.5 on Debian Linux. It required some tweaking of some of the scripts in the Linux directory, since Debian is not chalanged in the same way Redhat or Suse is.

I also had to fix the Linux/Makefile. For some reason it tried to install ipfilter.o as ipfilter.ko. I don't think this will work on any Linux platform.

Apply the attached patch to fix this problem.

Sincerely,

Richard van den Berg
