all, is there a way to find out what is part of the kernel, ie which modules have been compiled into the kernel, meaning which modules I do not have to start by including them into the mosules.conf file? Reson for this is that I am having trouble with my IPCHAINS stuff. RH6.2 used to come by default with the ipchains module as part of the kernel, 7.1 does not, so I included it into the modules.conf file: alias ipchains_filter ipchains Yet when I then load the ipchains rules it comes up complaining about ipchains: Protocol not available So something is wrong. Hence I thought I would like to know what is part of the kernel. Any ideas? jobst -- Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. | __, Jobst Schmalenbach, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Technical Director| | _ _.--'-n_/ Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L | |-(_)------(_)= +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia| -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
