iptables v1.3.5: Couldn't load match `account':/lib/iptables/: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

You mean the error message was:

Code:

Couldn't load match 'account':/usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_account.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

??

Have you seen:

Though you may need only enable the option... what is it you want to achieve?
Note - this question would be easier to answer properly if you edited your profile to show your location and distro.
Thanks.

yes i have gone through the link. I am using RHEL5 32-bit Server Edition. when i am writing that rule it was showing that libipt_account.so is not available. Yes in /lib/iptables, libipt_account.so is not there. So how do i get that library. i am a newbie, learning iptables. So provide me some, help how do i get this.

You use up2date and your account at RHN to install the rpm.
