[gentoo-user] Newbie - Missing IPtables

[gentoo-user] Newbie - Missing IPtables

[Eldon Ziegler]

I successfully installed my first gentoo but didn't get iptables. The 
HOWTO says, "As for the kernel all you must do is enable iptable 
support." but not how to do that? Do I have to redo the complete 
install? (about 12 hours).

Thanks

cd /usr/src/linux

make menuconfig

edit the kernel options to set up the iptables parts needed in the
kernel (can't rememebr where they are - not just at my normal box atm)

then install the new kernel like you did originally

emerge iptables to get the user space tools to control the kernel
iptables chains.

In 2.6.11, it is under

  Device Drivers -> Networking Support -> Networking Options
    -> Network Packet Filtering -> IP: Netfilter configurations

 Well, if you've got X working somehow - you can try

 make xmenuconfig

It's really beautiful =)

Just a reminder here, all the answers are already in this thread ;)

In the newer kernels (>= 2.6.10 ??) there is a search functionality
callable with the key "/" .
so pressing "/" , Enter Keyword "iptables" will show something like this :

 | IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT) (IP_NF_IPTABLES)
 | Location:
 |  -> Device Drivers
 |   -> Networking support
 |    -> Networking support (NET)
 |     -> Networking options
 |      -> Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) (NETFILTER)
 |       -> IP: Netfilter Configuration
 | Depends:
 | [...]


when all is configured, save the configuration and type:

#mount /boot ; make && make modules_install && make install

or use your preferred kernelmaker program.
