no chain/target/match for LOG module even though the shared library exists

no chain/target/match for LOG module even though the shared library exists

[Martin Robb]

Greetings,

I'm running iptables on a 2.4.14 lsm kernel on what was, originally at 
least, a RHL 7.1 system.  When I try using the LOG feature, e.g.:
    iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
I get the error:
   No chain/target/match by that name.

I apologize if this problem has already been dealt with on the list, but 
I couldn't find it in the FAQ and the list archives don't appear to be 
searchable.

I've tried the same syntax on a Debian system (2.4.18 kernel) and it 
accepts it fine, so it doesn't look like a syntax problem.  I have 
upgraded iptables to 1.2.6a on the 2.4.14 kernel, which is the same 
iptables version running on the Debian system (BTW, there appear to be 
some header file discrepencies when I tried to compile 1.2.7a against 
the 2.4.14 kernel).  I have even tried applying all cleanly patching 
patch-o-matic patches and still get the problem.

The /lib/iptables/libipt_LOG.so library exists (root root 755) and 
besides, if I give it a bogus module name like:
    iptables -A INPUT -j foobar
I get a totally different error:
    ... /lib/iptables/libipt_foobar.so: cannot open shared object file ...

I'm stumped.  Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get logging 
working on this system?

Thanks,
