[Tfug] iptables puzzle

[ewf]

Well,
      The kernel I'm running on this machine is:

          Linux  2.4.27 

and the iptables version is:

          v1.3.3

When I try to set a rule intended to accept a return socket for a
connection that originated at my box.

Namely:
sage:~# iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

I get:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

     Here's what I suspect:
1) iptables is griping about the symbol "state" in the command
2) That this version of iptables is too advanced for the 2.4.27 kernel

Can anybody confirm?

                                                                                    
Cheers,
