[olug] Eth0 works, now onto IPTables

[bbrush at unlnotes.unl.edu]

Ok, partial success.

I have located and downloaded iptables-1.2.2.tar.bz2 (got it from the
Slackware site).  I even managed to get it unzipped and extracted.

The install file says to:

make pending-patches KERNEL_DIR= <<where your kernel is>>  (I assume this
means my kernel source code.  Since I have 2.4.5 do I need to do this?)

make install  KERNEL_DIR= <<where your kernel is>>

Do I need to recompile my kernel after I do this? (Good lord I hope not)

Thanks again.  (This would be easier if the damn thing did have a configure
script)

I think RH made rpm 4 available as a .rpm for RH 6.x systems - I'll have to
see if I can dig it out.

Yes.  Very simple:

extract
./configure
make
make install
