I get an ipchains: protocol unavailable whenever I try to use it. I used the ipchains RPM that came with the Mandrake 8.0 CD, so I assume it''s not an install prob. Running the 2.4.3 kernel. Can anyone tell me howto fix this? (Please don''t say I have to recompile the kernel....Please don''t say I have to recompile the kernel....Please don''t say I have to recompile the kernel....) Thanks, Brian

What are you running this on, a 386? Doei, Arthur. (Who thinks nothing of recompiling a kernel... even on his 486... just takes time.) -- /\ / | arthurvl@sci.kun.nl | Work like you don''t need the money /__\ / | A friend is someone with whom | Love like you have never been hurt / \/__ | you can dare to be yourself | Dance like there''s nobody watching

It''s linked to the switch to netfilters in the kernel. I saw in the first release of 2.4.x kernels a compatibility modules which seems to have been removed in 2.4.6. So the best things to do is to switch to iptables. Hope this will help, Raff. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Raffaele Brancaleoni Email : s940195@student.ulg.ac.be Licence en Informatique Université de Liège - Belgique ____________________________________________________________________________
