Hi All
I am trying to insert sctp.ko into kernel but whenever i am going to run this command it will give me following error. I am using fedora 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.

command:-
/sbin/insmod sctp.ko
o/p:-
insmod: error inserting 'sctp.ko': -1 Required key not available

Please help me out.
Thanks & Regards

Try using modprobe, not insmod.
If it still fails, try to load ipv6 first.

I have tried but it's giving error:-
FATAL: Module sctp.ko not found.
What i have to do. I am new to this module.

Hm. Where's this module located in your system? Did you compile it with your kernel or separately? On my system it's here

$ locate sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/kernel/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/kernel/net/netfilter/xt_sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/kernel/net/sctp/sctp.ko

Hi,
I am not aware of this that wether it's compiled with kernel or sepretly because i got this readymade plateform from my local IDM. Sorry for inconvinience.

On my system it's here:-
/lib/modules/2.6.21-2950.fc8xen/kernel/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.21-2950.fc8xen/kernel/net/netfilter/xt_sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.21-2950.fc8xen/kernel/net/sctp/sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/kernel/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/kernel/net/netfilter/xt_sctp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/kernel/net/sctp/.sctp.ko.swp
/lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/kernel/net/sctp/sctp.ko

Thanks & Regards

OK, then one more question. When you load it with modprobe, you type
modprobe sctp
not modprobe sctp.ko, right?

Thanks Buddy, I tried without extension & it's working. Thanks a lot Dear.

FATAL: Error inserting sctp (/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/net/sctp/sctp.ko): Operation not permitted

You must be root to run modprobe
