Darryl, I'm replying to this message since I inadvertantly deleted your response asking where to set these config attributes. I don't recall for sure that you self-compiled the 2.4.19 kernel, so I'll assume so. Using "make menuconfig|xconfig", these attributes are under "Networking options", and then "Packet socket" and "Socket Filtering". If you simply modify /usr/src/linux/.config then change CONFIG_PACKET=m/y and CONFIG_SOCKET=m/y. I prefer to put them into the kernel, answering "y" to each. happy compiling, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
