iptables -m string not useable in iptables 1.2.7a

["Udo Rader" <spamtrash2@vibe.ac>]

hi,

I've got a problem with the iptables 1.2.7a string-module. 

No matter what I try I always get the following:

----CUT----
% iptables -A INPUT -m string --string 'the bad string' -j LOG
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
----CUT----

any ideas or is this a bug?

thanks

udo
