Hi
I'm trying to set up a simple firewall following the instructions in BLFS-6.1.
I've enabled the options in the kernel: Network Packet Filtering -> IP:
Netfilter Configuration before installing iptables. When when rebooting the new
kernel, XFree86 hangs as the system goes into kdm. The following errors are
showing in the XFree86.log file:
X11Transocket openCOTSserver: Unable to open socket for inet6
X11Transocket open: socket() failed for local
X11Transocket openCOTSclient: Unable to open socket for local
X11TransOpen: transport failed for local /
If I go back to my old kernel, everthings fine. This is a socket problem, but why is it happening and how do I cure it?
Maybe use diff to compare the .config of your new kernel with your old one and see what you changed?
What kernel are you building? I've seen some odd freezes (system lockups) with
the new netfilter options in the 2.6.14-rc$ kernels. The freezes went away when
I didn't enable the new netfilter options. I used to just enable all the
netfilter options (it was easier than working out what they all do) but after
that experience I went through my kernel config again and read all the help
stuff on the netfilter sub-menus to work out if I really needed all those
things.
