Hi, Hopefully I'll get this in before 6.2 is released!
Is it possible to update iptables to 1.3.7? I've checked the 'current development' version of the book and iptables is still at 1.3.5 I tried a few weeks ago to compile 1.3.7 on an LFS 6.2 system and found that some of the modules didn't compile properly and weren't available to use. I emailed the netfilter users list at the time but didn't find the answer to my problem. In the end I used 1.3.6, but found that contrary to the BLFS book instructions I had to add a 'KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6...' line to make and make install, otherwise I again ended up with some modules not compiled correctly due to missing headers. In the book it states that this should only be used for some non-x86 architectures, but I'm using an x86 processor (it also states to do so in the iptables install instructions). I can provide tests and/or try to replicate if required - I am just writing this from memory.
