Hi there,

I'm using gentoo-kernel-bin. Every time I emerge net-firewall/firewalld I get a message about NF_CT_NETLINK_HELPER not being set and it potentially leading to unexpected operation of the package. Is there anything I can do about it meanwhile staying on the binary kernel?

firewall-cmd --state shows that the firewall is active.

Thanks in advance.

lotss,

Welcome to Gentoo Forums! :D

Usually our Gentoo distribution kernel contains all what you need for firewalling. If this is not the case, a bug report should be created on bugzilla: https://bugs.gentoo.org/

You are welcome to link to this thread.

Here are the requirements for activating this option:
Code:
Symbol: NF_CT_NETLINK_HELPER [=y]
Type  : tristate
Defined at net/netfilter/Kconfig:406
  Prompt: Connection tracking helpers in user-space via Netlink
  Depends on: NET [=y] && INET [=y] && NETFILTER [=y] && NF_CONNTRACK [=y] && NF_CT_NETLINK [=y] && NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE [=y] && NETFILTER_NETLINK_GLUE_CT [=y] && NETFILTER_ADVANCED [=y]
