I have my "rc.firewall" script generated by Guarddog (I think the most friendly firewall iptables generator) and with kernel 2.4.22 it works OK. But when I boot with 2.6.0. I have following message :
"iptables : no chain/ target/ match by that name"
repeated four times.
What may be wrong with 2.6.0 cooperating with this script?
All needed modules (like ip_conntrack_ftp, ip_tables etc.) loads OK also with 2.6.0.
Maybe I missed some options in new kernel?
Thanks for your advice, but "rc.firewall" generated by GUARDDOG is rather complex, so it is impossible to "echo" each line.
I'm not an expert for iptables, so could you explain a little closer, what are SNAT/DNAT?
And why I haven't got these errors with 2.4.22 Kernel? With lsmod I discovered, that there is one difference with loading modules : when using 2.6.0 Kernel module "ipt_REJECT" doesn't load, and even doesn't exist in /lib/modules/2.6.0/...
I think I marked all options in 2.6.0 concerning on iptables, so why I haven't got this module (maybe it is not necessary in 2.6.0) and could it be the reason for these errors?
