I get this error message - InaVirtualGhetto - 2004-01-16
in gentoo, a fresh install, I get this error message while trying to do anything except display the help in ipatbles:
modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables
iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
I am using the 2.4.20 kernel, and iptables worked fine with the same kernel version in redhat 9. I even emerged a new version of iptables, and the error message still comes up. what could be the problem?

did you use genkernel to compile the kernel.. or did you do it yourself?

ok.... i made menuconfiog, added network packet filtering, then added iptables support. i then enabled everything that came up after i added iptables supporty. i then
make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install
well, that didnt work. kernel compile errors...
so i copied the .config to /root and then:
make mrproper
make clean
copied the .config back, then
make menuconfig
just to make sure it was right
then
make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install
it went off without a hitch...
then i mounted /boot and backed up the old bzImage and copied the new bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/bzImage and updated my boot loader to conform to load the new kernel.
i rebooted and it still gave me the same error as stated before.
so, I emerged iptables again. still, same error message...
I'm at a loss... there isnt any hosts.allow or hosts.deny in /etc so i cant even do that to try and secure this box... any suggestions?
