I don't understand how the various iptables modules get loaded. I know that under ipchains, they had to be manually insmod'd but now under iptables they seem to get automagically loaded. The problem is that I'm not getting any complaints in either syslog of in functionality and yet there are modules that are not loaded that I would expect would need to be loaded. Here's my lsmod:

Do I have a problem? Also, where can I find out what each module does? -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have - -happened but none stranger than this.
