Hi,

        This is just sort of a basic question. I was running linux  kernel 2.4.18-3 w/ iptables 1.2.6a. But unfortunately my disk crashed. The only backup I had was my ruleset. Now when I  install 1.2.7a on the same kernel version the whole installation goes smoothly ( as long as I keep certain patches out of the patch-o-matic base installation, especially ipv6 patches as higher kernel patches). Yet when I have the new kernel running, & I query for Iptables version it says 1.2.5x. Where am I going wrong? Doesn't IPT 1.2.7a wark with kernel 2.4.18-3?
