I'm not sure. You can check to see if they are compiled into the kernel you are currently running by looking at your /proc/net directory. Here's what I've got in my /proc/net directory on a system with IP forwarding, firewalling, accounting, and masquerading... boots:/proc/net# ls alias_types ip_acct ip_masq_app route tcp aliases ip_autofw ip_masquerade rt_cache udp arp ip_forward ip_output snmp unix dev ip_input raw sockstat Of course, there might be something else going on...
