The Linux firewall (iptables) *is* a kernel module. |
23 |
|
24 |
Meaning that it has to be enabled in the kernel, and it doesn't sound |
25 |
like it is. |

In my (extremely limited) experience (I use Firestarter to control |
28 |
iptables and its rules), it is best to compile iptables and the various |
29 |
filters (basically all of them) as modules into the kernel rather than |
30 |
statically. Certainly for Firestarter, and it sounds like for ipkungfu |
31 |
as well, this is preferable, so that the utility can grab and load the |
32 |
modules it needs on the fly. |
