problems with iptables on 7.2

Hi - I've been trying to set up iptables on a 7.2 based firewall, but am getting strange errors when I try to install any rules: [root@server root]# rpm -qa | grep iptables iptables-1.2.4-2 [root@server root]# iptables --list /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_mod

WOO-HO!!! :D Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o and my firewall script built on the test server just ran and setup iptables fine... yay! now let's see how badly my iptables script broke the office network! :) thanks loads. - dan. ps. should I need to do an

My bad...try "insmod ip_tables" and see if that helps. On Wed, 24 Apr 2002, Dan Horth wrote: > At 3:25 PM -0400 23/4/02, Mike Burger wrote: > >First: > > > >rmmod ipchains > > > >Then: > > > >insmod iptables > > hmm... at this stage I get > > insmod: iptables: no module by that name found > >

I'm definitely getting on a limb here, as I don't rpm kernels from RH, and I am only using ipchains on 7.1... > nothing in modules.conf about firewall or iptables, but there is nothing in >modules.conf on my test server at home where iptables is working fine (again stock >7.2 kernel) > > lsmo

Re: problems with iptables on 7.2

did you compile this kernel yourself? If so, did you add firewall as a module? what is the contents of /etc/modules.conf and the output of lsmod sounds like the ip_tables module isn't properly loaded in your kernel (that's what the insmod errors are telling you) Dan Horth wrote: > Hi - I've
