Re: [suse-security] kernel 2.4.5 + ipchains 1.3.9-249 incompatible?

Hi all, I have problems with my susefirewall. I'm using SuSE 7.1, kernel 2.4.5 and ipchains 1.3.9-249. In the bootlog I get the message 'ipchains protocol not available' and when I give the command 'ipchains -L' I get the message 'incompatible with this kernel. So I tried the original SuSEkernel, but there it is the same.

Probably the susefirewall version you're using doesn't load the ipchains module automatically - try the updated version ftp.suse.com://pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/sec1/SuSEfirewall-4.3-3.noarch.rpm. Or simply try adding modprobe ipchains somewhere at the beginning the firewall script. Regards, Martin
