[ale] patch-o-matic-ng question?

[Chris Woodfield]

Hello,

I'm looking to install the record-rpc patch from the patch-o-matic 
distribution in order to permit easier firewalling of NFS traffic. On the 
netfilter-org site, there's the latest patch-o-matic tarball, with a 
release date of Dec 2003, and patch-o-matic-ng, which appears to be in 
current development.

Unfortunately, there's very little documentation either on the 
netfilter.org site or anywhere else that google can find that explains the 
difference between the two (other than "ng is newer"). Can someone fill me 
in here? Specifically, I need to verify that at least one of these supports 
the 2.6.x kernels (I'm on 2.6.7).

Also, I attempted to run the runme script from the ng tarball, and I 
noticed that it asks for the root of the kernel source base 
(/usr/src/linux), but also asks for the iptables codebase (default 
location: /usr/src/iptables). Is there a source tree inside the kernel for 
this I can point it to, or do I need to have the source code for the 
iptables app available? 

Thanks,

-Chris
