 |
|
Since [iptables ]Module ip_tables not found ( resolved) seems to be ignored because of "solved" flag, I'm reposting my question...
According to official "Home router guide", I've compiled everything that is coherent to iptables in kernel, not as modules, but after "make && make modules_install", copying new kernel to /boot/, rebooting, emerging iptables and running "iptables -F", I got this:
| Code: | root@server ~ # iptables -F
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.3.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. |
How come?
What should I do to eliminate this strange behavior?

ip_tables.ko ought to live here:
| Code: | | /lib/modules/your-kernel-version/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter |
If it's not there, I guess the most likely reason is that you haven't built it as a module. You can choose this from this option in the kernel config:
| Code: |
Networking
-> Networking options
-> Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)
-> IP: Netfilter Configuration
|
And under netfilter configuration, select as many as you think are going to be useful (I usually select all those not marked EXPERIMENTAL, and let the iptables programme worry about which to load).

Thanks, but I've get rid of this problem by re-installing whole system

A little extreme, perhaps ... lol
At least it's working now, though.

I suppose it's works because I had installed iptables, when all options were built as modules... then I've recompiled the kernel, and iptables got crazy... so I decided to reinstall
