on the iptables error, you may need to upgrade your iptables stuff, it's available at netfilter.samba.org, also it might be that you have the ipchains module loaded.
for the ipchains error, i think you need a source or dest addy for ports to work, my ancient ipchains rules have a line like this: ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 80:80 -j ACCEPT hope that helps On Thursday 21 March 2002 12:58 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hi. > > on linux 2.2.19, slackware 8, i used ipchains -P input DENY, which returned > no errors > > but when i try ipchains -A input -p tcp http -j ALLOW or ipchains -A input > -p tcp http -j ACCEPT I get an error message? > > on slackware 8, kernel 2.4.17, i get an error with iptables -L, saying i > might need to insmod or upgrade...wtf? > > why is it not a good idea to have samba connected to the net? > > thanks in advance > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > mail2web - Check your email from the web at > http://mail2web.com/ .
