 |
|
i've just compiled iptables as modules, then i run:
# make && make modules_install
# echo "iptables" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 && modules-update.
# modprobe ip_tables
finally, i'm having an error during bootup:
* loading module iptables
* Failed to load iptables
what's my fault? |

* Not starting iptables. First create some rules then run:
* /etc/init.d/iptables save |
i've not set any rules yet as i'm having an error on bootup and need to get rid of it:
| Code: | Using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 as config:
* loading module iptables
* Failed to load iptables |

Well, there you are, you have to create at least a few rules before you run it for the first time. Remember that the default is to drop the packets...
I suggest you to read a bit about iptables and how the rules are set... http://www.siliconvalleyccie.com/linux-hn/iptables-intro.htm
| Code: |
$ iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
$ iptables -A INPUT -p all -m state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
$ /etc/init.d/iptables save
$ /etc/init.d/iptables start
|
This will block any input packet that is not result of you connecting to someone (RELATED,ESTABLISHED) and will accept everything from the loopback. I am not at my box, so sorry if it doesn't work straightaway. Check the man pages.
read what /etc/init.d/iptables script does and you will understand how it works.
Good Luck! |
