Re: [Ltib] Adding "IPTABLES Filtering' to kernel

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Caroyln,

Yes, you need to re-configure your kernel and turn on all the the
appropriate netfilter option. To do this, run:

$ ./ltib --configure

and scroll down and select:

[ ] Configure the kernel

Also if you're likely to want to re-do this (you are) then also select:

[ ] Leave the sources after building

This will build and install the new kernel.  Note that the "configure
the kernel" is a transient flag and will clear itself once the kernel
has successfully built.  So if you need to configure again, you'll need
to reset the option.  You used to be able to do it by just saying:
$ ./ltib -p kernel --configure, but that seems to be broken at the
moment (maybe not on your version).

Regards, Stuart
