After modifying /etc/conf.modules with 'alias binfmt-0000 binfmt_misc' (also tried BillK's suggested 'alias binfmt-0000 binfmt_aout'), I simply try 'ipchains -nL' and get the following error only the first time... Sep 22 11:32:36 24 insmod: Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/modules.dep Sep 22 11:32:36 24 modprobe: Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.16-9mdksecure/modules.dep Which seems ok. I take it that it reloaded the conf.modules file. Do I have to do a reboot or is this enough (I tried both) ? The original error message for binfmt-0000 no longer shows up in the error logs, however 'ipchains -nL' still shows me nothing. Now I re-run rc.firewall --> no errors, no log errors, but also no 'ipchains -nL' output. I am lost! I shut down all services except SSH (w/ restricted IPs). Thanks... Dan.
