[ale] Kernel v2.6.0 and IPTables

[Bob Kruger]

Chris;

To be honest, I don't know.  I usually don't run much in the way of modules - if I want a feature I compile it into the kernel, if I don't I leave it out.  My production machines are normally pretty stable in terms of needs.  

What I am wondering is if anyone is using IP-Tables with the new kernel, or if not what they are using in lieu of.  I have not been able to find it in the .config file prior to compiling.  Perhaps I have just missed it

Is anyone using IPTables or some other kernel based IP/port/protocol filtering software?  Does this capability exist in the new kernel, or will we have to go to external sources for this functionality?

Bob

I've upgraded my module-init-tools but I have to do a modprobe each time
I need a driver.

In order to mount vfat, I have to execute 'modprobe vfat' before I even
attempt the mount.

I did convert my modules.conf to modprobe.dep.  Is there something else
I forgot to do?
