After spending most of the day trying to get either Firestarter of KMyFirewall to work, I am getting closer to having a firewall set up. I am still having problems though. Below is the input after I run firestarter, configure with the wizard and then start the firewall: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- romulan root # firestarter NETFILTER detected Firewall script saved as /etc/firestarter/firewall.sh Adding Firestarter startup hook to /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth1.exe Could not write firestarter DHCP hook: No such file or directory modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack_ftp modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack_irc Firewall started -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first part, I can eliminate the error if I choose eth0 as my network device but for some reason, it is actually located at eth1 after I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.20-gentoor5 to 2.4.20-gentoo-r7. I am not sure why it changed from eth0 to eth1 so I guess I will need to know how to correct this error (I do have two pcmcia slots but only the eth0 is in use). When I do select the etho network device I can run firestarter but I still get the modprobe errors and this error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No DHCP client configuration found The firewall will not be loaded automatically on a lease renewal. Please make sure the external interface is configured properly or deselect the DHCP option if you are using static settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now for the second part of my problem, I am not sure how I can add all the above modules to my kernel. I recompiled the kernel several times. Where in the menuconfig do I need to add these modules? Or do I need to emerge them after I compile the kernel? Below is the list of modules that I currently have: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- romulan root # lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: GF ipt_ttl 536 0 (autoclean) ipt_unclean 6712 0 (autoclean) iptable_mangle 2040 0 (unused) ipt_MASQUERADE 1592 0 (unused) ipt_TOS 920 0 (unused) ipt_REDIRECT 696 0 (unused) iptable_nat 21080 0 [ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_REDIRECT] ipt_REJECT 2840 0 (unused) ipt_state 536 0 ipt_limit 792 0 ipt_LOG 3192 0 iptable_filter 1612 0 (autoclean) ip_tables 13952 14 [ipt_ttl ipt_unclean iptable_mangle ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_TOS ipt_REDIRECT iptable_nat ipt_REJECT ipt_state ipt_limit ipt_LOG iptable_filter] maestro3 24656 1 soundcore 3364 2 [maestro3] ac97_codec 9800 0 [maestro3] ohci1394 15592 0 (unused) ieee1394 29708 0 [ohci1394] serial 49092 0 (autoclean) isa-pnp 28100 0 (autoclean) [serial] parport_pc 24520 1 (autoclean) lp 6400 0 (autoclean) parport 22720 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] 3c575_cb 21956 2 cb_enabler 2864 2 [3c575_cb] ds 7432 4 [cb_enabler] i82365 41408 2 pcmcia_core 44288 0 [cb_enabler ds i82365] printer 6624 0 (unused) 3c59x 25584 1 usb-storage 55608 0 (unused) hid 12468 0 (unused) uhci 23008 0 (unused) usbcore 55264 1 [printer usb-storage hid uhci] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any help will be appreciated:) Kevin Miller -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
