hmmm... consequences of compiling my new kernel...
when I do $iptables -L
even as root, it doesn't recognise that iptables is there, and asks if I need to insmod.
I'm pretty sure I compiled iptables into my kernel. In fact I explicitly remember doing it.
#insmod ip_tables returns: no module of that name found.
#modprobe -l doesn't show it, or ip_chains either
I'm pretty sure I did make modules and make modules_install (cos I typed module_install and had to retype). And I'm also sure I compiled it in with a Y rather than as a loadable module (M).
Any ideas? I want my firewall back! :'(
TIA Ricardo
Hi Ricardo
If you compiled it as part of the kernel as opposed to a module, you will never see it with insmod. Try recompiling with the "M" option and it might fix your problem.

Look at /usr/src/linux/.config and see what you actually did - assuming that you keep your sources in the standard place.
