hi, one of my machines at home is running RH72 , 2.4.9-31 (upgraded from up2date) and since i upgraded i am having problems forwarding traffic through that machine using iptables. the iptables version that comes with RH originally is iptables-1.2.3-1, and i figured that an upgrade is in order here so i removed the old packages and installed iptables-1.2.4-2 using up2date. this is the same error i am getting before and after the update :
# /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed iptables v1.2.4: can't initialize iptables table `nat': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. insmod produces the following : # insmod ip_tables Using /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters idea's anyone ? -- ----------------------------------------------- [root@localhost /]# make love make: stop : dont know how to make love [root@localhost /]#ls Amir Tal, ICQ : 15748705 http://www.whatsup.org.il ----------------------------------------------- ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
