Thanks for the help, Jack. Everything is working fine now. In regard to the last message, I'll rephrase the question:
If the netfilter userspace tools that now occupy /sbin are compiled from current netfilter CVS source tree, will they still execute properly when called from within the framework of the prior kernel (before pomming it)? You do not need to answer the question. As soon as I have time, I'll reboot the old kernel and try it myself. I've been running Linux for about a year now, and, actually I am pretty proud of the small amount of knowledge I have gained over that time. Occasionally, though, I get frustrated trying to piece together all of the scattered information trying to get something (i.e. H323) to work. BTW, I've noticed that I can initiate netmeeting calls from behind my router, but others cannot call me (they wind up calling 192.168.x.x, which obviously does not exist on the internet). I assume this is because of the limitations of ip_conntrack_h323 (that I think I read about). This will not normally be a problem for me, as most of the calling (by my wife, to Ecuador) can be initiated elsewhere. The only inconvienience would be if I wanted to netmeeting with my business partner, who is also behind a linux router/firewall. I assume that this is what OpenH323Gatekeeper is for. Does anyone know if a gatekeeper can be run simultaneously with ip_conntrack_h323 so that both situations work? Thanks again.

The above Makefile only controls where the userspace part of iptables goes during the make install. The netfilter kernel modules are added to the kernel source when you do the "make most-of-pom", etc. Then you have to compile your kernel source again. If you have already compiled the kernel source using the same iptables code then you just have to run the make install again (with the edited prefixes) to put the userspace stuff in the right place. It may be an idea to go into the /usr/local directory and clean out all the stuff that was placed in there by the previous make install just to avoid possible clashes. jb
