ipchains newbie. Kernel newbie
I need some help.
I am trying to install ipchains and in the readme file it says i need a You need to be running a kernel compiled with CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL (for 2.1.102 and above) or CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_CHAINS set to `y'. You can tell that your current kernel is compiled with this by looking for `/proc/net/ip_fwchains' - if it exists, then your kernel is ready for the ipchains utility. how do i do this? I have never compiled a kernel and im running mandrake 8.2 . Some one please guide me on how to get started. |
I'd recommend using IPTables myself, IPChains is old hat. I would expect IP_Firewall to be enabled in 'Drake it is in RedHat. I don't know how to tell off the top of my head, but look into IPTables and see if the information there isn't (a lot) more up to date.

If you never compiled a kernel the basics are here.
*If you're installing a new tarball of netfilter/iptables you'd want to do the patch-o-matic thing first, this will patch the kernel source and add options under "netfilter config". In the Xconfig/config menu in one of the first tabs select "code maturity" and activate it to read something like "developmental/experimental", go to Networking tab, activate "network packet filtering". Now select "netfilter Configuration" and activate all modules. When done selecting options hanlde making/installing the kernel as usual. HTH somehow. /* Btw, IMO this ain't a security question but a software/config one. Please consider your forum target before posting. */ |
