I recently downloaded guarddog 1.9.6 for my firewall. When I tried to set the rules I got this error message
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed iptables v1.2.3: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

So like the erorr message says I tried to do an insmod myself but I got the same error message. What do I need to do?

I beleive I have figured it out. I had the ipchains module loaded when I should have had the iptables module loaded. Now how do I get iptables to load up during boot time instead of iptables?

Load it from your rc scripts. Search for the script that starts ipchains and replace it with iptables. There are lots of iptables modules so you might have to load them all for this to work.
