Hi, I'm building a 'secure' server. I downloaded the 2.4.20 kernel source from kernel.org and patched with grsecurity (latest patch). I also disabled loadable modules or any module support in the kernel for added security - So everything is compiled in to the kernel.
However, iptables won't work, saying it can't initialise iptables table 'filter' and saying "do you need to insmod?". So does iptables require module support? I don't want to use modules though! :-) Surely the Netfilter people would have thought of this? I can't find an option to allow ipchains compatibility either - Does this no longer exist? So any workarounds, fixes etc. etc. would be most welcome. Thanks and regards, David. -- .''`.
