Hi all, i installed bastille firewall, everything is fine untill i start the firewall, i got this:


root@baby [~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/bastille-firewall restart
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.20-hostnoc-686smp-1/modules.dep (No such file or directory)

iptables v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

what about it, could you give me some info? looks like there are errors: something to do with my kernel, but the firewall is running

thanks :)

you need to recompile your kernel

i can tell the the firewall is running on my system and it blocks those ports that i wanted to blocks, so does this mean that the firewall is working probably?

i have know clue how to recompile my kernel though...any step by step info on this would be great, thanks :)

you can try the lastest rpm kernel release from redhat. After you get the rpm file... do rpm -Uvh name_of_the_latest_kernel_file. You might have to restall bastille but it will work.

so u mean the latset kernel release from redhat got iptable support yeah or do i need to configure something else

thanks for the help though ;)

you don't need to configure anything else after running rpm -Uvh xxx... you might check the bootloader to make sure it will boot the redhat kernel image.

thanks, care to give me the link to the red hat 7.3 latest kernel :D

I have Nocster support guy (Herb) recomplied my kernel with the IPTables options built in as modules. Then I went ahead and reinstall Bastille, working like a charm now :D

Big thank to Herb (Herbert Jackson) for saving my day
