IPtables Problem, pls help

lamborghini

I got problems to upgrade iptables, please help.

Environment: RedHat 9.0 Kernel 2.4.20-8

Now, I removed iptables-1.2.7a with Redhat, and want to install iptables 1.2.9, have downloaded the source code,
1) run the following commands:
make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4
make install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4

2) compile kernel

3) reboot

but, iptables service wasn't started, I run service iptables start and system told me: iptables: unrecognized service

so I checked /etc/xinetd.d, iptables not there,

I think I did wrong, can anyone give me some ideas?



Can I compile the iptables 1.2.9 into rpm and then install it



Thx

I am not sure if you make any mistake. I think when you uninstall the iptabes 1.2.7a, you also remove the "service", you use the "source code" to install the new version iptables, and the service would not add automaticly. So you must add the service manual. Try use redhat-config-service to add the new service and start it.
BTW, the iptables is a stand along service, it is not in the /etc/xinetd.d, it is just in /etc/init.d.
