[gentoo-user] iptables and gentoo sources?
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 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

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

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. Regards, Jorge Almeida -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

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... Greetings, Matthias -- Homer: Hey, Flanders, it's no use praying.
