I'm new to psad, but I'm glad to have successfully installed psad w/
fwsnort for the first time. I've confirmed it's working and see that
string matching is executing correctly.

At some point, I noticed a psad or fwsnort message,  warning me that
"ipv4options" was not compiled into iptabels (I'm using Centos 5.3
kernel 2.6.128). I reviewed my iptables options and I don't see
anything related to ipv4options. Can someone please shed some light on
whether or not ipv4options is an important feature for psad/fwsnort to
work 100%:
