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 itself is from March this year. Can someone shed some light on this? Is the executable pulling the version number from inside the kernel, implying that I'm actually running version 1.2a, or is it that I just need to build a new version of that executable. If the latter, can you tell me where to find the source for that? It didn't seem to be part of the iptables code I downloaded from the home page.
