Please help if you can with my ip_tables problem.
 

I recently comiled 2.6.17 from source, and may have gotten carried away in xconfig:) Here is what I get now concerning iptables.


sleekmason@0[~]$ iptables -L
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
sleekmason@0[~]$ su

root@0[sleekmason]# iptables -L
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
root@0[sleekmason]# /etc/init.d/iptables start
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)

so . . . I basically have no clue as to what to do next. I have gone back in and recompiled trying to find the problem to no avail.
The latest version is installed, and shows when I ask:
# iptables -V

I also get this error message at startup as it flashes through all of the startup script when I reboot.:Pengy:

Thank you for earlier posts. Just shows that I should reserch better. I found the problem in xconfig (Ithink) and will recompile. Sorry for the dead post.
