If you are using a kernel supplied by a distribution, then
the changes that it is enabled is very high. If you roll
your own kernel, check the network options in your kernel config.

In any case, if you run "iptables -L" and it works,
you've got netfilter working.

As for ipt_saru, the code for that is in the saru tree, you'll need to
complile that. The resulting binary will be ipt_saru.o And then either
insmod it, or put it in /lib/modules somewhere and run depmod, and then
modprobe ipt_saru.

Please keep in mind, that saru was written a while ago,
and needs heartebat ~0.4.9 and a 2.4 kernel. It is quite
possible (and quite easy I might add) to port this to
heartbeat 2.0.0 and the 2.6 kernel, I just haven't had time
to do this. If someone wants to send patches, I would
be very happy to look at them.
