Hello,
I am new to this
group, and to Linux as well. I ran into difficulties installing a firewall
(IPTables) on our Red Hat 9 machine, and need some guidance. There are several
problems:
1. The ip_nat_ftp
module is missing from the kernel. I thought it was supposed to be part of
standard install, but since I was not the one who originally installed my RH9, I
do not know how it became missing.
2. I added the
iptables script to /etc/rc.d/init.d directory, and even though this is a close
copy of the script that successfully runs on another machine with Red Hat 7.2,
on RH9 it generates a long array of error messages, such
as:
No such file or
directory: /sbin/iptables /* Not true, the file exists
*/
Invalid target name
'DROP'
/* It was OK on RH7.2 */
I suspect the cause
may be trivial, but cannot see where I am going wrong.
Any help will be
deeply appreciated.
