Hey guys, I'm updating iptables using the 'patch' utility and I downloaded the 1.2.7a - 1.2.8 patch thingy from iptables.org Not meaning to seem obvious, but what file am I to /actually/ patch? /sbin/iptables?

Normally one would patch the source for the application.

The patch utility applies a set of "diff's" defined in the patch (text) file to the source directory then you recompile the app.

Obviously this will requre the source for 1.2.7a.

bunzip the patch in the source directory and 'patch -p1 < patch-iptables-1.2.7a-1.2.8'.

[The "strip level" p0, p1 .... tells it how many leading slashes to strip from the filenames in the patch]

The verbose messages should tell you how it went.
