IPTABLES and RedHat 7.2: can't compile kernel

IPTABLES and RedHat 7.2: can't compile kernel

Post by Euge » Tue, 22 Jan 2002 13:17:01



Hello. Apologies if I am going over old ground here. I have a stock
installation of RedHat 7.2 with the 2.4.7-10 kernel. I want to get IPTables
up and running. I have failed to either recompile this kernel (kernel panic
error) or can't compile the latest kernel (2.4.17) due to "cant't find
aac7xxx scsi file" type errors. The problem seems to be that I can't I have
an scsi harddisk, and even though I compile in the scsi stuff, I can't boot
with the upgraded kernel.

My question is, can I get away with downloading the latest iptables file
module, compile it, etc. and make do with this. I basically want a firewall
that denies all, allows SSH, and HTTP server operations.

Thanks.
Eugene

The compile can be done without any problems, the real question is how are you
compiling the support in for the aic7xxx scsi system.  Are you compiling it in
as a module or into the kernel.  You should be compiling it into the kernel in
your case and not a module.

Why can't you use iptables which is already with the system?  Redhat 7.2 ships
with iptables as part of the distribution.

See ya

1. I'm confused with ipchains/iptables on Redhat 7.2

I have the server RH installed kernel version 2.4.7-10.
It appears to be using ipchains because when I do a lsmod ipchains appears in
the list.  But I thought iptables was the default for RH 7.2.

I'm using pmfirewall to configure the it and it allows the web and chat traffic
thru so I'm happy with it.
BUT now I want to do some port forwarding and am not having any success.
I need to forward port 2047 and 8888 one of my internal machines but I'm lost.

So if someone could tell me which direction  to go with this I'll follow up with
more specifics.

Thanks,
darwin
