Hello List,

I'm new to the iptables. I just downloaded iptables-1.2.9.tar.bz2, compiled and installed it with following:

(I tried to delete the old iptable version with following command before install the 1.2.9 version, but failed:

# rpm -q iptables

iptables-1.2.8-13

# rpm -e iptables

error: Failed dependencies: iptables >=1.2.8 is needed by (installed) readhat-config-securitylevel-tui-1.2.11-1)

# make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.npl

# make install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.npl

# make install-devel

# modprobe ip6_tables

No error message appears.

However, when I use the ip6tables:

# ip6tables -L

I got the following error message:

"can't initialize ip6tables table 'filter': Address family not supported by protocol

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgrades"

The following is my system information:

Platform: Fedora

Kernel version: linux-2.4.22.2115.npl

Would you please tell me what happened?

Best regards

Ying
