I am trying to make the following command permanent:       modprobe   ip_nat_ftp Have a look in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config I should have said I am running SL6 x64. It is there.  But, running /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables throws an error on ip_nat_ftp if I do not previously load ip_nat_ftp with modprobe. What I am after is to load ip_nat_ftp at boot time with modprobe.d. A tape and gum approach would be to load ip_nat_ftp in /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables before it did anything with /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config, but I really would like to learn the right way to do it in modprobe.d. -T Did you get any errors after editing the IPTABLES_MODULES line in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config to: IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_nat_ftp" Actually, I am having trouble communicating that the above line is what causes the error I am trying to fix.  Comment out the above and /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables is quiet.  Uncomment it and ..init.d/iptables bitches about not being able to find ip_nat_ftp.  Run "modprobe ip_nat_ftp" and ..init.d/iptables is quiet again. What I need it the proper syntax for my /etc/modprobe.d/customstuff.conf. I am trying to clean up this error: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/customstuff.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with 'ip_nat_ftp' I need the proper syntax to put ip_nat_ftp into my /etc/modprobe.d/customstuff.conf. Many thanks, -T
