O.k. That's the same as me. I'm Red Hat 7.2, but there isn't much left
of the important networking stuff.

I don't have any trouble with the iptables compilation, as don't most
people on this list.

At this point, I have to confess to having misunderstood your original
posting. In fact, you've done a kernel compile with patched Netfilter
code, and have a new kernel with its own associated and your iptables
modules. The latter should now be in

/lib/modules/2.4.18//kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter .

Are they? Can you modprobe/insmod and rmmod them?

If so, your problem's nothing to do with the kernel, rather with the
userspace utilities.

If so, leave the kernel as it is, or recompile it without IPV6, which
you've said you don't need. Obviously you need the necessary iptables
patch-o-matic patches.

The following is an orrible workaround and shouldn't be necessary. It
works for me, but might not for you. All the ipv6 stuff comes at the end
of the make.

vi the iptables userspace top Makefile in your 1.2.6a compile directory
(the others don't need it). Instead of making DO_IP6=0, comment it out:
#DO_IP6=0 and 'make clean', 'make'. If you want to see afterwards what
it's done, do:

'make > /tmpdir 2>&1' and 'more'/'less' the resulting logfile
afterwards. For me it compiles cleanly cuts out all the ipv6 utilities.
For you it should do the same.

I'm tired and I'm going to bed. Night comes early in Holland :-)

Best,

Tony
