Hi. I am trying to patch my kernel for iptables string function
Code:
make patch-o-matic KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.19.1
Code:
Welcome to Rusty's Patch-o-matic!
Each patch is a new feature: many have minimal impact, some do not.
Almost every one has bugs, so I don't recommend applying them all!
-------------------------------------------------------
Testing... 2.4.1.patch NOT APPLIED (4 rejects out of 6 hunks)
The 2.4.1 patch:
Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Status: Recommended (Already in 2.4.1 and above).
This contains three fixes:
1) A fix for complex routing setups, where route by firewall mark is
combined with the MASQUERADE NAT target.
2) A fix for a bug in NAT where the second of two overlapping
connections is dropped (the code will correctly refuse to map two
different connections onto one new connection, but it gives up too
easily when this happends). The most common symptom of this is ssh
to or from a box doing masquerading fails, but others are possible.
3) A fix for the mangle table for PowerPC and Sparc boxes.
