Have anybody any advice to take me? The <*> indicates that IP tables is compiled in, rather than compiled as a module. Since there's no module, 'modprobe iptables' will fail, but if you do 'iptables -L' you'll see iptables present and working. You would either need to change IP Tables support to be a module, or change the firehol script to recognize that iptables might be compiled in, instead of a module. IMHO, failing if something is compiled in rather than a module is poor planning or poor programming (if there's a difference). -- CAUTION: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
