installing iptables
Hi all, I'm pretty new to CRUX, so I don't have a lot of experience with the package system or compiling kernels. I am trying to get iptables installed, and was wondering if there is any documentation for how to get this to work on CRUX. I have installed the iptables package, but when I try to run it I get the following error: # iptables --list FATAL: Module ip_tables not found. iptables v1.4.12.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. I assume this is because I have not compiled my kernel with the correct options. I found a list of kernel options to get iptables working here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iptables. Is this all I need to do? Is there a kernel module that I also need to install separately from the iptables CLI program? I am running CRUX 2.7 with Linux 2.6.39.4. Thanks, Tony

Yes, enabling (either as module or statically compiled in) the relevant iptables options should fix your issues. While you probably have reason to run CRUX 2.7, I highly recommend using the current 3.2 (or soon: 3.3) flavour. best regards, Thomas
