Problem starting APF:lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

[AbeFroman]

Has anyone got APF to work with a rpm based kernel?
[email protected] [/etc/rc.d/init.d]# ./apf start
Starting APF:Development mode enabled!; firewall will flush every 5 minutes.
lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

Unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.
[ OK ]

How do I get APF to work?

You need to have iptables module compiled into the kernel, AFAIK - you can't do that with the RPM based kernel.

Actually...

You probably have module loading disabled. If this works:

iptables -L -n

Then iptables is already loaded and you can edit /etc/apf/firewall and comment out the line:

modinit

to:

#modinit

It'll then start up and work OK

I forgot about that one, thanks chirpy.

Just ran into it today - nice coincidence

Thanks! But now I get this message:

Got any tips?
