The web page has not been updated in over a year, it says it is for the 2.0.x kernel series, 2.2.x has ipchains built-in, 2.4.x has iptables built-in. No, I don't think it is worth the trouble of compiling. Just use what you already have. On Thursday, December 20, 2001, at 02:04 PM, Kees Bergwerf wrote:

I am using the SuSEfirewall2 package. If you install that, and let it take care of it's dependencies, you will have iptables as well. I have struggled with ipchain rules myself, and that has taught me a bit about firewalling, but I found the SuSEfirewall2 works fine with my adsl connection, once I took a bit of time to read the manual and interpret what it says. Good luck. On Friday, December 21, 2001, at 09:26 PM, Kees Bergwerf wrote:

Are you sure? I have 2.4.0-4GB but I cannot find iptables. I have /sbin/ipchains but no /sbin/iptables Where do I get iptables?

That is the problem. I don't have very much. I tried PMfirewall but it does not close all ports. I tried a firewall script from a Dutch site that also privided a script to login with adsl. It did the same as pmfirewall. But both scripts generate a lot of errors:

And it is quite hard to maintain unless I learn to understand ipchains.

Do you have iptables installed? Do a rpm -q iptables and see if a version is installed.

Now I use kernel 2.2.18 and ipchains finally works! Why does iptables not work with kernel 2.4.0-4GB ? Do I need other modules? Or do I need to compile the kernel.. because I have used the kernel straight from the installation cd, without changing it.
