HI Sven, Well 1.2.1 was on a different system , that had linux 2.4.2, ip_tables 1.2.7a was on a system that has 2.4.20-8. Ok fine, that means I got it terribly wrong ;-) . So iptables.o is the object file I get after compiling iptables.c from source. And after every make, make install the kernel module ip_tables.o is automatically put in the directory /lib/modules/2.x.x/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o. This happens even if I had a different ip_tables version installed earlier ? i.e the earlier version is overwritten ?. Also, the reason why I got this doubt is : 1) I erased the ip_tables rpm after I installed from source 2) ls -la on /lib/modules/2.x.x/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o shows me march 14, whereas for all object files in the source directory where I untarred the iptables 1.2.9 source show me may 19th i.e yesterday. So is this kernel module not made while doing a make ? thanks Amit Sven Schuster <schuster.sven@xxxxxx> on 05/19/2004 08:33:27 PM To: Amit Kumar Singh/HSS@HSS cc: "Jee J.Z." <jz105@xxxxxxxxxx>, netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: ipq_read timeout Hi Amit, On Wed, May 19, 2004 at 07:24:50PM +0530, aksingh@xxxxxxxxxxx told us: > > Hi, > > I installed iptables 1.2.9 from source, now if i do an lsmod i get the > module loaded as ip_tables.o but I suspect this is the ip_tables.o of > iptables 1.2.7a which I had before(I removed iptables 1.2.7 package using > rpm -e iptables), I have one iptables.o in the directory in which > iptables1.2.9 src is installed but when i do insmod iptables.o it says : you're confusing two things here: ip_tables.o is the iptables kernel module whereas iptables.o is one of the object files created when building the new iptables binary which you then execute in user land to add/change rules. The userspace part should be pretty independent from your kernel version. In your last mail you told that you had installed iptables 1.2.1, now you're writing your old version 1.2.7a. If your old version really was 1.2.1 and your kernel is as old as the iptables version, you probably want to upgrade your kernel first :) > > iptables.o : can't find the kernel version this module was compiled for. > This happens when you try to insert an object file used for linking your iptables binary into the kernel. Won't work :) the ip_tables.o which is shown with lsmod should be quite ok for your running kernel.
