[5need]

Hello Guys ,
I wanna to tell you that about my last problem that my server has been formated and i lose all my data now i have a new problem when i try to put any new iptables rule it's showing me that

lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

Unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.

or if i try to power up APF or KISS firewall's so what i can do now to fix this problem ?
Thanks you ,

In apf, try enabling this MONOKERN="0"

Dear thelinuxguy ,
I have try to use KISS and APF and try to add manully rules but it's showing same
after i do like you told me i see this root@server1 [/usr/bin]# apf -r
Development mode enabled!; firewall will flush every 5 minutes.
lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

root@server1 [/usr/bin]#
and the rules add so i don't need to have a problems i need the fix of my problem please ... im not trust with this way because it's continue showing the error

[Steven]

The issue is related to your kernel not supporting iptables as a module have you tried setting MONOKERN="0" as MONOKERN="1" in the apf config?

[5need]

yes and it's add rules but it's seems continue showing error i use up2date too see if there a new kernel and i see this
root@server1 [/etc]# up2date -l
root@server1 [/etc]# rhn_register
root@server1 [/etc]# up2date -l

Thanks you ,

[Steven]

Hrmm redhat 9... Redhat 9 is EOL, that kernel is out of date and vulnerable to a few exploits.

[5need]

Yeah it's Redhat 9.0 what i must do i must update it now ?

[amitabh]

RH9 does have Iptables in its Kernel...?

[amitabh]

BTW, you also have 2.4.x kernel. so Iptables should be there if you have not compiled the kernel seperately. Make sure that Iptable daemon is running on your server.

[Steven]

Read the error amitabh

Unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.

You best bet is going to be to compile a 2.4 kernel for the system. There are a few guides about doing this on WHT.

[amitabh]

My fault, didn't read the post clearly. It does seem to be a case for kernel recompile.
