When I installed iptables, it compiled against

I have no idea what this means. Are you saying that you had to modify the
kernel/netfilter
settings and then recompile the kernel? I''ve never heard anyone use the
terms that your using.
Sorry. :)

If so what kernel are you running and what version of Shorewall are you running.
I''m trying to
compare my settings to someone else.
Right now I''m running Kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6 and Shorewall 1.4.6c...

Thanks,
JBanks
