Hello all!
Problem 1:
Well, everything had began when I tried to run. amsn on Slackware Linux 10.2. The installation was ok (I got the specific pkg for slackware on amsn web-site), but when I tried to log in it said it needed to install a module called
TLS, which was missing from my system. When I selected my arch (Linux-x86) and clicked "OK", the following message showed up:
Error installing TLS module:: couldn't open socket: connection refused.
I tried to find the package in the internet and install it by myself, but had not success.
As an alternative, I tried to shut down my firewall:
iptables --flush
Problem 2:
That's when the problem 2 comes. When I tried to do that:
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.3.3: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Ok, I am little newbie in Linux but I tried to compile my own 2.6 kernel. Maybe I didn't select the correct modules...? I tried to recompile my kernel using the following instructions:
make menuconfig
Networking ---> Networking options ---> Network packet filtering
(replaces ipchains) ---> Core Netfilter Configuration ---> Netfilter
Xtables support (required for ip_tables) and do enable all modules
included in that as per your need.
Then go to - Networking ---> Networking options ---> Network packet
filtering (replaces ipchains) ---> IP: Netfilter Configuration --->
IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)
You can only go to the second step after doing the first one.
Thanks

But it didn't work. I selected all these modules and then "make", "make modules_install", "make install", "reboot".
Maybe there are another modules I need to choose or maybe I should (nb kernel compiler) do something to make these modules "visible" or something?
I just would like to know if you have any idea of what I have to do to make iptables working.
ANY help for any one of these 2 problems will be so much appreciated will be welcome.
Thanks for your attention.
