Hi all We have a problem on one of our servers. Its running: Linux 2.4.17 on a Sparc Box with IPtables 1.2.4 The Kernel support for IPtables was compiled into the kernel, not as loadable modules, and now we have some problems. We recently setup a IRC server for a customer, and they came back and told us that DCC sending was not working for any client connected to this IRC server. A quick check of the logs revealed: Forged DCC command from 218.103.157.103: 1.154.254.169:0 Forged DCC command from 218.103.157.103: 1.154.254.169:0 Forged DCC command from 218.103.157.103: 1.154.254.169:0 Forged DCC command from 218.103.157.103: 1.154.254.169:0 Throughout the entire kernel log. (I believe the problem has been fixed in later releases of iptables, so I'm not after a fix) Now here is my problem. The Server is in Sydney, Australia, and I'm in Singapore, around 8000Miles away, so doing a remote kernel compile and reboot to remove the contrack_irc module is not something that I fancy. I'm wondering if there is a Rule or way that I can disable the contrack module from operating? Thanks :) Justin
