Subject: [Masq] PLEASE HELP!!!IP_TABLES
WITH REDHAT 7.2
Hi all,
I've installed the latest Redhat 7.2 with
2.4.7-10 kernel...
Installation went fine. (I guess) but when I
tried to follow the IP-Masquerading HOWTO I realized that I have to use
iptables instead ipchains because it is kernel 2.4
Anyway, I tried to follow the instructions, which
implies that I have to re-compile the kernel and setup the proper
configurations..
Unfortuantely I do not have good experience with
compiling kernels (!!!) but I did it anyway, and I had a kernel that does not
boot..(So it did not work well with me)
The problem I am having is when I tried to
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o:
init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by
incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o:
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod
ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.3: can't initialize iptables table `filter':
iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel
needs to be upgraded.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVICE WHAT PATH SHOULD I
TAKE..
EITHER TO RE-COMPILE THE
KERNEL
OR IT IS A SIMPLE FIX TO THE
IP_TABLES THING.
OR ANOTHER WAY?? PLEASE ADVICE..
THANKS AND THANKS IN ADVANCE..
HATEM
