I don't know what the "time" module is in iptables. What kernel option needs to be enabled? iptables userspace moves faster than kernelspace. There's no way we're going to start merging iptables modules before they get upstream due to there being so many of them, and the uncertainty of the length of time we'd have to carry them. This will get fixed when the module gets into upstream kernel.org kernels, and the Fedora kernel rebases. Ok. This is a big problem. This means that in order to get basic firewall functionality out of Fedora I have to recompile the kernel. Further it makes me wonder just which modules that the iptables man page mentions are also missing. Can I rely on anything working there that I have not tested myself? I am very willing to be the squeeky wheel on this but I still do not who to push. What I need is something like. "Talk to (Insert Name here) over at (insert project here) once they fix it we will too. Recompiling the kernel isn't going to help you. The module _is not there_ to be built. If it was included, I'd have enabled it. talk to the netfilter guys to get their module upstream. |
