if you get this when trying to use iptables:
Code:
iptables -L
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
the problem may be caused by ipchains modules being loaded.
do the following:
#lsmod
if you see ipchains in the list then do this:
#rmmod ipchains
this should fix the problem. i've had this problem serveral times and i have seen others have this problem. my original suggestion was to compile a customer kernel but this is waaaaay better.
