Just out of curiosity:
Can you tell me how you applied newnat then without taking extra
steps? I just tried 2.4.18 and cvs netfilter, and newnat doesn't
apply to 2.4.18 anymore from just running patch-o-matic.

Well, it does show you something useful: it fails on the Makefile,
which is fairly trivial to fix manually. My guess is that you've also
applied patches for additional connection tracking helpers.

Why don't you force to apply the patch anyway with patch-o-matic, and
then take a look at the reject file
(/path/to/linux/src/net/ipv4/netfilter/Makefile.rej) and manually
adjust the Makefile from it.

You really only need to add:

obj-$(CONFIG_IP_NF_TFTP) += ip_conntrack_tftp.o
obj-$(CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_TFTP) += ip_nat_tftp.o

somewhere :-)
