ROUTE

Hi all

Its been a while since i have been on this list, I trust everyone is good and well.

I need to compile the 2.6.24 kernel, but with POMS ROUTE.

Im seeing that Route is not the lastest POM.

If i may ask is there a reason for this, or is there a better way to route traffic out a different interface.

If anyone could assist, thanks in advance.

Regards

The module is removed some time ago and although I don't know the exact reason, I can imagine it has to do with maintaining it but of course there could be another reason.

You could mark the packets and route them using iproute2, but I don't know if that would satisfy your needs. Or, if it's of use for you, checkout the TEE target.

Thank you for your reply.

Most odd / co-incidental.

Hey! KERNEL_DIR is not set.

But i still want to try your advised route. Will be fun.

Thanks again.

Yes, but it won't work if your kernel is recent: when pom-ng starts, you will not be asked to patch the kernel for ROUTE.

Try:
IPTABLES_DIR="/path/to/iptables-source" \
KERNEL_DIR="/path/to/kernel-source" \
./runme --download

Good luck. :-)

Grts,
