You need to load the iptables modules. On a stock 7.1 install, # modprobe ip_tables Will do. An 'insmod ip_tables' will also work. Other modules are located in /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter. RedHat's init will look for your pre-defined rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables. You may also wish to remove the ipchains package entirely: # rpm -e ipchains Peter Lukas On 11 Jun 2001, Martin Peikert wrote: > Bill Asher <basher@schultz-design.com> wrote: > > I'm running RedHat 7.1, kernel 2.4.2-2.
