Yes, no problem with this here. I just installed such a setup some days 
ago, gentoo-sources and the newest stable iptables version. IMHO it's a 
good idea to always have the newest (stable) version of iptables installed 
on a Linux firewall...

If I understand your point correctly, it doesn't apply: I had gentoo-sources running 
when I first installed iptables, and I changed to vanilla-sources only because the 
former didn't work.
Anyway, what I need is just some input from people using 
gentoo-sources+iptables/shorewall (in other words: can it be done?). I may have to 
install gentoo on a new box soon, and I have to choose the kernel flavor.

iptables sometimes requires re-emerging to work with a different
kernel.  Dont know why, just that its needed "sometimes".

[gentoo-user] iptables and gentoo sources?

2003-11-02 Thread Jorge Almeida
Hi everyone,

I tried iptables/shorewall with gentoo-sources and it didn't work. So I changed to 
vanilla-sources and it works fine. I read somewhere that gentoo-sources had some 
incompatibility with iptables.
This was some months ago, if I recall correctly. So the question is: is it all right 
to use gentoo-sources with iptables? Is the problem solved, assuming that there really 
was one?

Regards,
Jorge Almeida
