Hello
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit on a 540 linode but am running into problems trying to get iptables working. I installed IP tables using
Code:
apt-get install iptables
I then goto use iptables-restore but get this error message
Code:
root@li38-42:/etc# iptables-restore /etc/iptables.test.rules
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
'ptables-restore v1.4.0: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'filter
Error occurred at line: 1
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.
It seems that the ip_tables module is not loaded into the kernel but what the googleing I have done has reported.
Any ideas how to fix this? My IP tables config is:-
Code:
*filter
# Allows all loopback (lo0) traffic and drop all traffic to 127/8 that doesn't use lo0
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i ! lo -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j REJECT
# Accepts all established inbound connections
-A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# Allows all outbound traffic
# You can modify this to only allow certain traffic
-A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT
# Allows HTTP and HTTPS connections from anywhere (the normal ports for websites)
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
# Allows SSH connections
#
# THE -dport NUMBER IS THE SAME ONE YOU SET UP IN THE SSHD_CONFIG FILE
#
-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
# Allow ping
-A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT
# log iptables denied calls
-A INPUT -m limit --limit 5/min -j LOG --log-prefix "iptables denied: " --log-level 7
# Reject all other inbound - default deny unless explicitly allowed policy
-A INPUT -j REJECT
-A FORWARD -j REJECT
