Hi
I have an problem while starting iptables. I have redhat linux 9.0 box. How to do insmod for iptables. Please reply me the same as soon as possible.

# service iptables restart
Flushing all current rules and user defined chains: [ OK ]
Clearing all current rules and user defined chains: [ OK ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore v1.2.7a: can't initialize iptables table `': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

check your script.. sounds to me that you have done a typo or something... paste your script and we can look at it...

Thanks

I just come to re-compile my kernel 2.6.3 and i get the same problem.
I can give you my script, but wich one do you want? rc.sysinit ?

thanks

preferably your iptables script if your using one. if your using lokkit then type

Code:

service iptables status

then show. but hopefully you are running a sh script to initialise your script because that I can understand a lot better :P

if you are looking for a firewall script and a guide check out the website I put together. I was a newbie with iptables until i had to build a firewall for the office.
