[SLUG] Installing latest iptables

As part of the first kernel build I've done in a very long time (around five years), I downloaded the latest iptables code (version 1.2.4) and built that. However, when I run iptables -version it says I'm running 1.2a, which is a little confusing. I took a look and the iptables executable
