IPTables not available

IPTables not available

[Daniel Curry]

On fresh RH7.2 and RH7.3 installs  IPTables executables are installed,
but will not execute.  I get Kernel errors.  Can someone please direct
me to a listing of what steps and option I need to enable this?  I wish
to put firewalling with NAT services on a machine running an Apache web
server, with PHP and Perl scripts connecting to a localhosted MySQL DB,
as well as offering sendmail, POP(S)/IMAP(S), ftp, and PPTP VPN
services.  Or a compatible ipchains script for this would also be
appreciated.

Thanks

See if http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq8 doesn't address your problem.

An easy way, exclusively to Redhat as root in terminal:

type    setup   , select system services scroll down, you will find (if 
bog standard RH install) both ipchains and iptables checked. Uncheck 
ipchains, and leave iptables as is.

Precautionary, do
service ipchains stop   as well...
BTW, IPtables is actually iptables , note lower case,

ipchains seems to take presedence over iptables, default RH feeble fire 
wall is ipchains based. Expect that to change !!!

Cheers,
Michael

yeah, I think rh72 ships with an ipchains kernel. if you apply system
updates, the new kernel is an ipchains one. don't know about rh73, which
would be odd if it's the same reason. ...send the error?

RE: IPTables not available

[Benny Butler]

I have a RH 7.2 box that's running iptables and has never had the kernel
recompiled.  Check 'lsmod' and make sure that ipchains is not listed.
If it is then 'rmmod ipchains' then 'insmod ip_tables'  Actually you can
skip that last command and it will load the module for you.

Hope this helps.

Both RH7.2 and RH7.3 ship with an iptables kernel. The reason why it
probably doesn't work for you, is simply because ipchains was loaded
alrdy.  Ipchains is RH's default firewall.  All you need to do is

chkconfig --del ipchains
so ipchains doesn't load on boot or you can delete the ipchains firewall
rm /etc/sysconfig/ipchains

then reboot
i don't think you can just do a service ipchains stop, but i could be
wrong

and then implement your iptables firewall using the iptables command

iptables -A .....

after you done with that you can save it to a file using

/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables save or service iptables save

hope this helps
Bailey
