Anyway, to counter what Jacob says, unless someone is downloading and installing a linux kernel that doesn't come with the distribution, kernel modules do need to be recompiled for each distro, seperately because each one has its own set of patches that they use, etc. It's a royal pain in the ass trying to provide a complete package for a linux that includes a kernel module. It is often a challenge just to build a linux kernel with the source provided by a vendor (RedHat/SuSE) that matches the one you install. They might give you the source/patches, but that doesn't make it any easier and with the versioning crap in the LKM interface...ugh Darren > On Mon, 2005-04-25 at 09:49 -0500, jacob martinson wrote: > > I haven't built IPFilter for linux, but that would be a kernel issue, > > independent of the distribution. > > > > -Jacob > > > > On 4/25/05, Jett Tayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > use Redhat 9 instead. ipfilter will run smooth on this distro. > > > i have been using it as my 3-legged firewall :) > > > > > > > > > On Fri, 2005-04-22 at 09:28 -1000, Arthur W.
