Hi All,
I am using Redhat Linux version 2.6.18-128.e15. And Iptables Version is
"iptables-1.3.5"..
When i try to implement "time patch"

Quote:

[root@qalinux5 SPECS]# iptables -A INPUT -m time --timestart 8:00 --timestop 18:00 --days Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri -j ACCEPT

i get this error

Quote:

iptables v1.2.8: Couldn't load match
`time':/lib/iptables/libipt_time.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

I didn't find that module when i typed

Quote:

lsmod

What can i do?

No solution, just a few comments.

1. 2.6.18-128.el5 : That's Redhat EL 5.4 with an old kernel update.
The current version is "2.6.18-308.8.2.el5".
(The command $ 'cat /etc/redhat-release' will reply with version.)

2. /lib/iptables/libipt_time.so is a shared library.

3. lsmod is for kernel modules only.

4. I don't think you can use a patch for the ancient iptables-1.2.8
together with iptables-1.3.5 .
