Hello all, I placed the command: /sbin/insmod ipchains in file /etc/init.d/boot.local to load automatically the ipchains module, My firewall is working, only some adjustments is missing, thanks to all, By Lindomar, On Thu, 1 Aug 2002, Jonathan Cowherd wrote:

You can use Ipchains or Ipfwadm with your 2.4.x kernel if your kernel has Ipchains or Ipfwadm support compiled in as a module. You can run lsmod as root to check what modules are loaded. If you decide this, rmmod iptables and insmod ipchains. Provided that the ipchains tools are installed, then you should be good to go.

I'm only saying this because I've become a fan of 2.4.x series and Iptables isn't too much of a stretch from Ipchains.

i actually run several of my server on SuSE 8.0 Pro with kernel 2.2.19.. one of them was actually compiled with the kernel source rpm from SuSE....

u will need to uninstall the 2.4 kernel, then install the 2.2.19 rpm, and re-run lilo... a reboot should load your 2.2.19 kernel with IPChains support...

good luck..

How can I install kernel 2.2.x in SuSE 8 ??, but I should like to use my own script writen in 2.2 kernel

sorry the mistakes,

What about downloading a 2.2.21 from ftp.kernel.org and compiling that one ??? (approx. 20MB)

The better idea is to adapt your script to iptables, in order to be able to use netfilter meachnism of connection tracking [stateful firewall]. There are hints on www.netfilter.org.
