Hi,

I have kernel2.6.0 running on redhat 9
My .config file in /usr/src/linux-2.6.0 shows
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m
CONFIG_IP6_NF_IPTABLES=m

and I also have the necessary netfilter files under
/lib/modules/2.6.0/kernel/net/ipv4

However when I run the following commands
#modprobe iptable_filter or
#insmod iptable_filter or
#modprobe ip_tables
I get the message
"FATAL: Module iptable_filter not found."

Does this mean that my iptable module is not compiled with the kernel? if so then why do i get the corresponding entries in my .config file?

Am i missing something?
also
#lsmod does not show me any modules as being listed

any reply is appreciated

thanks,
Nik

Is your kernel set to accept modules?

If lsmod is returning a big fat zippy, you might want to check.

type lsmod, are there any modules loaded because modprobe for kernel 2.4 is not compatable with kernel 2.6 u need to update module tools to the latest version.
i have mandrake 9.2 with module-init-tools-0.9.15-pre4.tar.gz

this installs a new modprobe depmod insmod modinfo rmmod and lsmod.

it will rename the old mod tools modname.old
