Talking about the following: I had a iptables 1.2.5 perfectly running.The only thing I disliked was its modularity - insmodding filter,nat&mangle. So I tried building a static netfilter (v1.2.6a) by uncommenting NO SHARED LIBS=1 in the main makefile. Then typed: make pending-patches KERNEL_DIR=, make KERNEL_DIR=, make install KERNEL_DIR= consequently. I made a typo rebuilding my kernel: make modules install instead of make modules_install, which noticed too late - 20 hrs after the first attempt. So I wrote a letter to the list,asking for help which seems to have been destroyed by lists.samba.org or sth else for unknown reason. While waiting, I kept on trying. Finally I grasped what's missing and built a kernel with modular netfilter to be safe that I have some kind of filter on my net i/face. The side effect of patching&rebuilding was that PSD and some other options got lost/configured differently from my instructions. I will take a break, deal with my other stuff and then try again. My plea is can you tell me A) how to build a static netfilter or B) point a URL with some dox on the subject or C)explain step by step rusty's guide 4 static netfilter in the INSTALL file to me ?
