Trouble running firewall script - pls help
Hey Guys,
I'm having trouble running my firewall script (using iptables) on my Gentoo box with 2.6.7 kernel. When ever I run it it gives: Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) for every line of the script I also can not run the commands from the prompt. I have included netfilter in my kernel. Any help would be great!! How do I make it so the script runs every time the system boots?? Thx Wags. |
what about the last thing in the message you are seeing:
iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) -are these things compiled in or did you build them as modules? - thats how I did it -are the modules actually loaded before you or your script wants to apply some firewall-rules? ("lsmod" - maybe with full path - should be in root's $PATH) My script starts by loading the needed modules via insmod - then come the firewall-rules I have two extra scripts - one to (manually) stop the firewall and one to print its status. I dont know about how the init-scripts in slackware work - I have my script called in sysinit - before any runlevels are reached. Just look how all the other init-scripts are organised and called. On http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html is among all the others -a firewall-howto which might help. Jochen |
