There was a recent kernel update. Does anyone know if this had any adverse effects on loading ipt_recent? . . . ip_tables 17029 3 iptable_nat,iptable_mangle,iptable_filter ipt_LOG 10049 6 ipv6 267489 23 ip6t_REJECT . . . And this does not look good either: # modprobe --first-time ipt_recent FATAL: Error inserting ipt_recent (/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.9.1.el5/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_recent.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) There is no entry in /var/log/dmesg relating to this problem. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
