Hi all, Fedora 5 patched, i386 SMP I am looking for info on how to dynamically load a particular kernel module when I restart IPTables. I have firewalling rules in place for FTP traffic (both passive and active) however when I restart IPTables I notice that the module ip_conntrack_ftp does not load, I have to load it manually. This presents a problem if someone other than myself has to reload firewall rules on this machine but isn't aware of the FTP rules/needs. Will adding the line "ip_conntrack_ftp" to the modules.conf file solve this problem and leave the particular module in permanently?
Patch /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config, mine looks like: # Additional iptables modules (nat helper) # Default: -empty- IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp" (snip) HTH, M4
