Suse 7.1 with 2.4 kernel: masquerading

Suse 7.1 with 2.4 kernel: masquerading

Post by Valentin Schwar » Mon, 19 Mar 2001 03:06:48



Hi!
I have a problem with masquerading with my suse distripution. Ususally there
are some modules like ip_masq_ftp, but I don't have those modules. Does the
2.4 kernel not need those modules? How can I start masqerading? (the line:
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth0 works, but I have to load those missing
modules too)
And I'm not able to start masquerading with the Suse-firewall. When I'm
enabling the Firewall (START_FW=yes) my internet does not work any more
because linux doesn't find the network interface cards.
I thank you for your help.

Suse 7.1 with 2.4 kernel: masquerading

this is not your question, but firewalling changed again with the 2.4 kernels.

I could not get the original SuSE 2.4 to work, but a downloaded 2.4.2 was fine.
I only have one NIC and no modem though - it is an intranet server.

1. 2.4.x kernel, RH 7.1, ICQ, and masquerading

I've been staring at documentation and I still don't get it.

I recently reinstalled RH 7.1 on my system, and upgraded to the 2.4.9
kernel.  Before my reinstallation, I'd been using IP Masquerading
successfully in conjunction with ICQ.  The IP Masquerading HOW-TO seems
to indicate that ICQ doesn't work properly with the 2.4 kernels when
multiple people are receiving messages, but it seemed fine on my system.
  Could it be because I was continuing to use ipchains instead of
iptables?  My guess would have been that it wouldn't matter, because the
incompatability is at the kernel level, and ipchains and iptables are
just front ends to get at kernel capabilities; is that right?

Should I be worried about this?  Why would it be working?  I think I
probably ought to switch to iptables, but I'm worried that doing so will
break something which currently works.

Thanks,
Bruce Feist
