On a VPS I wanted to add to IP tables:-
iptables -A XXXX -p tcp -m string --algo bm --string 'login' -j DROP
I got:
iptables: Unknown error 18446744073709551615
uname -a = 2.6.35.4 #2 (don't know how this got installed)
lsmod | grep ipt = ipt_LOG 5419 2
yum upgrade iptables* = nothing to install.
---------------------------------------
On a standalone server (C 5.6)
iptables -A XXXX -p tcp -m string --algo bm --string 'login' -j DROP
is accepted.
uname -a = 2.6.18-274.el5 #1
lsmod | grep ipt = ipt_LOG 39617 1 iptable_filter 36161 1 ip_tables 55457 1 iptable_filter x_tables 50505 6 xt_string,xt_state,ipt_LOG,xt_tcpudp,ip_tables,ip6_tables
------------------------------------------------
Appreciate suggestions on how to get kernel 2.6.35.4 to install the whole IP tables package, especially the STRING and RECENT options (in -m).
Thank you.
Paul.
