I also have brakeage of iptables. Kernel support seems to be missing.

linode:/etc/mail# iptables -L -n -v
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Whoops. That was meant to be a reply. Not a new thread.

New threads are actually what I prefer.

Go ahead and reboot your Linode. 2.6.16-domU-linode1 build #2 has all the filtering rules enabled. Let me know if that fixes it.

Iptables works, but now I'm missing some block devices:

linode:~# mount /var
mount: /dev/hda4 is not a valid block device

This is odd because some of them work. Does the new kernel have ext2 and ext3 support?

See

Keep rebooting until everything shows up in /proc/partitions.

From a systrace:
open("/dev/hda4", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)

Iptables seems to be working perfectly now.

The debian iptables job isn't applying my iptables setup but that doesn't look like xens fault.

I've bound everything that should not go over the internet to 127.0.0.1 anyway.


This has been much more fun than going to work. Grr.. SOx audits.

.

I think I was wrong there, I don't think all of iptables is in the kernel.

I know the following line worked, I pulled it off the linode and off my backup:

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name


The simple stuff certainly works:

linode:/var/lib/iptables# iptables -L -n -v
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 1790 packets, 147K bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0


Anyway I really need to go to work now. Thanks for xen Chris! It does seem to be quite a lot faster.

Yup. Missed a few options...

Code: # uname -a
Linux li3-242 2.6.16-domU-linode1 #3 SMP Tue Mar 28 03:10:40 EST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
li3-242:~# iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
li3-242:~#
