[Gllug] ip-tables and ipchains

[Adrian McMenamin]

Even though I am using a 2.4 series kernel (RH 7.3), it appears to me that I 
am using ipchains and not iptables and when I attempt to run commands like 
iptables -L - I get a whole series of error messages 


[root at landslide Adrian]# /sbin/iptables -L
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/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/2.4.18-3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables 
failed
iptables v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do 
you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.


Is this a problem? Should I be satisfied with ipcahins (I won't post up that 
for obvious reasons).

Adrian
