 Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2003 12:18 am Post subject: compiled iptables into kernel, but iptables not working |
 |
|
so I did a reinstall of my system, and like in the fast, I built all the iptables I needed to into my kernel to allow for firewall packet-filtering. In the past, building iptables into the kernel has also installed iptables into my system, creating the file /sbin/iptables for me to modify my rules with.
However, after running this firewall script:
| Code: |
/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP
/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
|
I get the following errors:
| Code: |
./firewall.rules.1_0: line 1: /sbin/iptables: No such file or directory
./firewall.rules.1_0: line 2: /sbin/iptables: No such file or directory
./firewall.rules.1_0: line 3: /sbin/iptables: No such file or directory
./firewall.rules.1_0: line 4: /sbin/iptables: No such file or directory
./firewall.rules.1_0: line 5: /sbin/iptables: No such file or directory
|
I then look in /sbin and find that iptables is not there, but that ipmaddr and iptunnel are there (what they are, I don't know). I then checked my kernel config and found that iptables was indeed compiled into the kernel, like before, but it seems that this did not put the rest of iptables onto my system like before.
How can I go about fixing this? My kernel is currently a gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 (marked in the stable branch).

Really? I thought it had its own package ( net-firewall/iptables ) <-- tried re-emerging that?

guess in the past, iptables got automagically installed with the kernel somehow...works, kind of...iptables is killing my kernel...see the thread I put in this forum asking for help for more details
