Hi all,
I'm sorry if this is a quick dumb one, but how does one install ip6tables?
Running yum install ip6tables doesn't return anything, even with the rpmforge repository enabled:
root@mercury:[~]$ yum install -y ip6tables Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirrors.netdna.com * base: pubmirrors.reflected.net * extras: mirror.vcu.edu * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * updates: ftp.lug.udel.edu Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Install Process No package ip6tables available. Nothing to do
Doing a google search for "how to install ip6tables", ironically, returns results on how to disable it. I have disabled it previously, but now want to re-enabled it as I want to play around with IPV6 & iptables.
Any pointers will be appreciated.

Are you sure it's not already installed ?? It installs by default on my systems.

It's part of the iptables package.

How did you disable it? rm some files? rpm -e a package? chkconfig ip6tables off?
My starting point for understanding this problem would be***: /sbin/chkconfig --list |grep tables rpm -qa iptables* yum info iptables*
*** of course you'll understand the appropriate man pages before executing what some random net user wrote.

Yes it was installed but I think I took it off a year or 2 ago but would like to test it out now.
Joseph's suggestion of "yum list iptables*" helped though, thanx :)
