|

Hi,
I got Slackware 10 (small) up and running w/ everything working just great. However, when I tried getting iptables to work, I can't seem to find the following modules to load:
ip_nat_ftp
ip_conntrack_ftp
When issued
Code: modprobe ip_nat_ftp
I get
Code: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.4.26-linode31-1um/modules.dep: No such file or directory
The same thing for
Code: modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
I get
Code: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.4.26-linode31-1um/modules.dep: No such file or directory
When I ls "/lib/modules", the dir is empty. Doing a "locate ip_conntrack_ftp" does give me this:
Code: /usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_conntrack_ftp.h
Being somewhat new to the Linux OS, where/how do I get the modules for Slackware?
On a minor but separate issue... "man" command also isn't installed in Slackware 10 (small). Issuing "man" gets me
Code: -bash: man: command not found
After issuing "swaret --install man", I installed man-1.5l-i386-1 and man-pages-1.60-noarch-1. Then doing a "man ls" gets me this error:
Code: sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gtbl: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /usr/bin/nroff: No such file or directory
lines ?-?/? (END)
Any idea how to get "man" to work?
Thank you... |

Modules are disabled in the Linode kernels since they would present a security problem (insmod gimmie_host_shell, or insmod hack_me_to_host, or something). However, everything you need should already be compiled into the kernel:
http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1006
CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=y
As far as your "man" problem (no pun intended), it looks to me like man has dependencies on gtbl and nroff.

So w/o having to load the modules physically, everything should just "automagically" work, eh? I'll give that a shot... Thanks..

This is simply incredible... Works as advertised!
And for future newbies... to get "gtbl" and "nroff", install "groff" and all problems are solved....
Cheers! |
