Hi gents,

About all I've done so far is cross-compile iptables for an XScale ARM 
based system. And of course read the FAQ a few times, but its still 
pretty much Greek to me :) I found the attached script which seemed like 
a good place to start.

Running it produces the output below :

iptables v1.2.: can't initialize iptables table `ACC': Table does not 
exist (do you need to run insmod. Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs 
to be upgraded.
iptables v1.2.: can't initialize iptables table `ACC': Table does not exist
iptables v1.2.: can't initialize iptables table `ACC': Table does not 
exist .
iptables v1.2.: Can't use -N with -A

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
/sbin/firewall: -A: command not found

As far as I know, the kernel has been compiled with ip filtering turned 
on (I can send the options that I've checked if this would help?).

Question 1:  What is table ACC? Perhaps ACCEPT truncated (for some 
unknown reason) ?

Question 2: If I want to start off by writing my own extremely simple 
tables, where should these be stored, or is there a way to tell iptables 
where to look for them?

Running iptables -L -v, produces the following :

Chain INPU (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes

    0     0 RETU            --                 anywhere             anywhere

It seems the table names are being truncated here to 4 characters ??
