When I start firehol-1.256 with an unmodified configuration I see the following warnings on the boot console: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING : This might or might not affect the operation of your firewall. WHAT : A runtime command failed to execute (returned error 1). SOURCE : line FIN of /etc/firehol/firehol.conf COMMAND : /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_irc -q OUTPUT : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING : This might or might not affect the operation of your firewall. WHAT : A runtime command failed to execute (returned error 1). SOURCE : line FIN of /etc/firehol/firehol.conf COMMAND : /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp -q OUTPUT : I have compiled all non-experimental netfilter modules directly into the kernel, even nf_conntrack_ftp and nf_conntrack_irc. I use firehol with iptables-1.38 and kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r8. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/firehol start or /etc/init.d/firehol restart as root 2. 3. Actual Results: See the described warnings Expected Results: No warnings.
i can only prevent these warning messages if i add the following string to /etc/firehol/firehol.conf : FIREHOL_LOAD_KERNEL_MODULES=0 now firehol starts even with iptables-1.3.8-r1 und gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r1 without any problems.
