need help with ipset

[Mike Wright]

Hi netfilter users,

Trying to use ipset but having no joy.

O/S is Fedora Core 4, kernel is linux-2.6.16-xen.

I'm using the instructions from ipset.netfilter.net/install.html. 
Kernel readied, patch applied, kernel built, iptables built, ipset 
built, no errors reported.  Only issue was that everything wanted to 
install into /usr/local.  The Makefile was changed to use this:

PREFIX:=/
LIBDIR:=$(PREFIX)/lib
BINDIR:=$(PREFIX)/sbin
MANDIR:=$(PREFIX)/usr/share/man
INCDIR:=$(PREFIX)/usr/include

I've built and installed the libipset*.so modules into both 
/lib/iptables and /lib/ipset.

When iptables is started it reports v1.3.5 and seems to work with my 
previous iptables rules.

Trying to create a set:
    "ipset -N TEST iphash" fails with:
       ipset v2.2.9: Error from kernel: Protocol not available

On google I found a user with that error, but said he had success once 
he loaded the module (didn't say how he did it though).  Reading man 
iptables says that modules will be loaded implicitly by specifying a 
protocol, i.e -p tcp,etc or explicitly by specifying a -m "module", so I 
tried this:
   "iptables -A INPUT -m set --set TEST dst -j ACCEPT" and got
      "iptables v1.3.5: Problem when communicating with ipset, errno=92"

(errno=92 is ENOPROTOOPT /* protocol not supported */)

Here are my kernel configs for ipset:
<M> IP set support 
                                                             (256) 
Maximum number of IP sets 
                                                       (1024) Hash size 
for bindings of IP sets 
                                            < >   ipmap set support 
 
                                 < >   macipmap set support 
 
                       < >   portmap set support 
 
            <M>   iphash set support 
 
< >   nethash set support 
                                                          < > 
ipporthash set support 
                                                    < >   iptree set 
support 
                                         <M>   set match support 
 
                            <M>   SET target support

Docs are pretty sparse on this, so it could very well be PEBCAK.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike Wright :m)

The ipset binary isn't smart enough to autoload the ip_set kernel module,
you need to load it manually (or via /etc/modules at system boot time):

# modprobe ip_set

Thanks Jozsef.  (Sorry for private reply.  Meant to reply to the list.) 
  That worked.  Also had to modprobe ip_set_iphash.

Still can't get iptables to recognize my set.  Can't find which step 
I've missed.  Here's the ipset -L

  Name: BADIPS
  Type: iphash
  References: 0
  Default binding:
  Header: hashsize: 1024 probes: 8 resize: 50
  Members:
  3.4.5.6
  2.3.4.5
  1.2.3.4
  Bindings:

...and modules
   lsmod |grep ip_set
     ip_set_iphash           8164  1
     ip_set                 20828  2 ip_set_iphash

Now I want to add a rule to iptables.

   "iptables -A INPUT -m set --set BADIPS src -j DROP"

But it errs with

   "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name"

It seems that iptables does not know about BADIPS? <Grasping />

If anyone knows what is missing I would sure appreciate the help :)

Thanks,
Mike Wright

How about:

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -m set --set BADIPS src -j DROP

Thanks for the reply.  No joy.  Also tried specifying a protocol 
thinking it might require one but that had no effect either.  Other 
insights?
