It's just a thought.... No. I have strong doubts that this thought is in the right direction. First of all, /lib/iptables/libipt_MASQUERADE.so is a netfilter _userspace_ extension module, not a kernel module. Secondly, if the ipchains kernel module were loaded, it would block loading netfilter/iptables modules with a completely different error message. And most important, any other iptables commands wouldn't work at all. An error like above can be the result of a syntax or type error, even junk at the end of a line or corrupted delimiters. Which userspace extension module is loaded depends on at least one command-line argument, e.g. the -p/--protocol argument and the - -m/--match argument for match extensions or the -j/--jump argument for target extensions like MASQUERADE. If the file /lib/iptables/libipt_MASQUERADE.so is not missing and the same rule is accepted on the command-line, find out a reproducible test-case. Try shortening your script as much as possible while keeping the problem reproducible. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+O+E/0iMVcrivHFQRAhqGAJ0a0xMiuJPCGjV+GIZJwiyZglIztwCfU+LP b5rBqIq3lBul0Qhw+FeZAds= =fCIC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
