Re: What modules do I need for MASQUERADE?

Thanks for the reply. This is from the rawhide rpm, so all the modules are 
there ( or should be!).Did as you sugggested ( I'm not using ftp or irc). 
Here's what I get from lsmod:

iptable_mangle          2712   0  (autoclean) (unused)

ipt_state               1048   2  (autoclean)

iptable_filter          2348   1  (autoclean)

iptable_nat            20632   1

ip_conntrack           26120   2  [ipt_state iptable_nat]

ip_tables              14520   6  [iptable_mangle ipt_state iptable_filter 
iptable_nat]

Still the same problem. What other modules do I need?

Hi, Assuming you have compiled all the modules you will be needing in your 
script, this alone should do it all: (loads all required iptables modules)

  ## Load netfilter modules
  /sbin/depmod -a

  # Support for connection tracking of FTP
  /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
  ## if you want IRC conn tracking, uncomment this:
  #/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_irc

regards,
jamie

I'm trying to run a simple nat on a redhat rawhide kernel:

/sbin/iptables -t nat     -F

/sbin/iptables -t nat     -A POSTROUTING -o  eth0              -j 
MASQUERADE

What modules do I need to insmod?

Is /sbin/modprobe iptable_nat  all I need?

thanks
sean
