which kernels for personal SuSEfirewall/ipchains
Can I assume that the SuSEfirewall-personal will only work with a SuSE 2.4.2 or < kernel??? Is there a way for it to work with a vanilla or Mantels 2.4.4?? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
I believe there is a version of the SuSEfirewall that works with iptables. If you want to use ipchains then you can insmod the ipchains module for 2.4.X and it should work fine..I use ipchains mainly because for now it suites my needs and I don't know iptables. The module is here: /lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o There ya go. * Mark Hounschell (dmarkh@cfl.rr.com) [010608 02:48]: ->Can I assume that the SuSEfirewall-personal will only work with a SuSE ->2.4.2 or < kernel??? ->Is there a way for it to work with a vanilla or Mantels 2.4.4?? ->-- ->Mark Hounschell ->dmarkh@cfl.rr.com -> ->-- ->To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com ->For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com ->Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the ->archives at http://lists.suse.com -> -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Thanks Ben. I'll took at it when I get home. I didn't see anything in the kernel config that would set CONFIG_IP_NF_COMPAT_IPCHAINS in .config. The error on boot up is that with a 2.4 kernel this must be set in kernel. All I saw was iptable stuff. No compatability option. Obiously I messed it. Or maybe I have the wrong SuSEfirewall (SuSEfirewall-4.3-3)?? Regards Mark
