Pascal explained me that. Sorry, my fault. I made
nf_conntrack_(ftp/amanda) build-in kernel, not as a module, so there
isn't any *.ko with that name to modprobe.

Thanks for your advice, I'll search for more docs about difference
module--build-in, just to see if I can change some parameters while
modprobe or so.


Cheers
