Re: [gentoo-user] How to install iplimit?

[Chad Feller]

Hello,

I'm still using 2.6.11-r9, but, it appears to be in yours too.  From 
"make menuconfig" under the 2.6.11-r9 it is here:

Device Drivers --->
    Networking support -->
        [*] Networking Support
            Networking options --->
                [*] Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)
                    IP: Netfilter Configuration --->
                        <m> IP tables support (required for 
filtering/masq/NAT)
                            <m> limit match support

 From a 2.6.15-r7 kernel:

Networking --->
    Networking options --->
                [*] Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)
                    IP: Netfilter Configuration --->
                        <m> IP tables support (required for 
filtering/masq/NAT)
                            <m> limit match support

The kernel module would be called ipt_limit in both cases.
