Post subject:  Firewall builder isn't working after upgrade to Hardy
This is strange. I upgraded to Hardy via a tedious apt-get dist-upgrade and all seems to be working. However, when I went to reinstall my firewall, it says:

find: /lib/modules/2.6.23.17-linode43/kernel: No such file or directory

I don't know exactly what firewall builder was doing. Anyway I then went to look to see what was happening and I get:

/sbin/iptables -L
iptables v1.3.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Well nuts. All this used to work on 6.06 and 6.10. Does anyone have a clue as to what's happening? I'm really a novice wrt firewalls.

Thanks,
Jim.

just create the dir
/lib/modules/2.6.23.17-linode43/

then go into the dir and

Code:
touch modules.dep

jim@fdcga:~$ uname -a
Linux fdcga 2.6.23.17-linode43 #1 Wed Mar 5 13:57:22 EST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Did I miss a step?

Thanks,

Installing? The OS?

No chance. I upgraded and don't really want to go back and reconfigure this beast again.

Thanks,
Jim.

No, IPTables ....

Have you changed your kernel since you last installed IPtables?

I'm embarrased. Look closely and you'll see I've been running iptables -L as a normal user, not root. It works from root.

Thanks,

Jim.
