kernel-2.4.18-10 package also has this problem.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2002-09-09 19:38:42 UTC

You may need to load the ipchains module first. Have you already loaded iptables?

Comment 3 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2002-09-10 02:11:44 UTC

My bad.  Hadn't loaded the ipchains.o module.  Thanks for the tip
