I have a RH 7.2 box that's running iptables and has never had the kernel recompiled. Check 'lsmod' and make sure that ipchains is not listed. If it is then 'rmmod ipchains' then 'insmod ip_tables' Actually you can skip that last command and it will load the module for you.
Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of jesse.linux Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 9:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: IPTables not available Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 08:20:43 -0700 From: "Daniel Curry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Netfilter (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On fresh RH7.2 and RH7.3 installs IPTables executables are installed, but will not execute. I get Kernel errors. Can someone please direct me to a listing of what steps and option I need to enable this? I wish to put firewalling with NAT services on a machine running an Apache web server, with PHP and Perl scripts connecting to a localhosted MySQL DB, as well as offering sendmail, POP(S)/IMAP(S), ftp, and PPTP VPN services. Or a compatible ipchains script for this would also be appreciated.
