Just for everyone's FYI - it looks like I'm going to have to change
hosting companies. Here's the response I got from the hosting company:
"Please allow me the opportunity to clear up a few things about how
Virtuozzo works with various modules. Basically, the VZ kernel cannot be
changed unless it's replaced with another precompiled VZ kernel on the
node and that new kernel must be provided by the software vendor.
Furthermore, the VZ kernel cannot be extended with modules unless the
modules are provided by the vendor. In this case, Parallels (the
software vendor for Virtuozzo, formerly named SWsoft) has several ipt_
modules available that are used by firewalls, but unfortunately
ipt_recent is not one of them."
So I've already created a new account with another company and am
setting up the server.
Thanks to those who helped.

Hi, all,
I'm trying to get iptables to work on a new debian vps. This worked before my
hosting company changed to virtuozzo for their vm.
On the new system I'm getting the following error:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
This is a response to any iptables statement using the ipt_recent module, i.e.
iptables -A FTP -p tcp --syn -m recent --name badFTP --rcheck --seconds 3600
-j REJECT
I tried
modprobe ipt_recent
But get the error:
FATAL: Module ipt_recent not found.
Of course, this all worked in the previous version.
perhaps they forgot to copy over the modules? Do you see any modules in:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/
If not, I'd contact your provider to see about getting those installed.
