Iptables fails on -m state --state!

Iptables fails on -m state --state!

[Marco]

Hi there,

even if the corresponding module is built into the kernel and loaded, 
iptables fails (No chain/target/match with that name, or something like 
that).

What can I do?

Thanks

Please show us the output of :

cat /proc/net/ip_tables_matches | grep state

And show us the rule you did input.

cat /proc/net/ip_tables_matches | grep state doesn't return anything but 
the contents of ip_tables_matches are:

it sounds an awful lot like you compiled your kernel without:

  CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_STATE=y

and you would obviously also need:

  CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=y

in there as well...

Of Course I did, as I said in the previous post! But I think I'll try 
with a different kernel version (maybe the vanilla sources for 2.6.10). 
Thanks.
