using the debian based distro Libranet with the 2.4.3 kernel. I am trying to get iptables up and running.
I have recompiled the kernel, with iptables, netfilter and a few others built into the kernel. but when i type iptables or even the full path /usr/sbin/iptables i get this." can't initiliaze iptables 'filter': iptables who (do you need to insmod).
I then recompiled and installed iptables as a module, but got the same message.
There is no mention of iptables in either my /etc/init.d or any of my /etc/rcx.d's.
So i entered /etc/init.d and did " ln-s /usr/sbin/iptables" to symlink it. Then i did update-rc.d.then rebooted, and all i got was a scrolling screen with "error: cant find iptables.sh" I had to reboot into linux 1 and remove the symlink and all reference to it.
can someone tell me how to get it up and running.
Cheers
