RPC not loaded in sus 9.3 firewall

Hi All,

we've found out that the iptables module is not loaded in the kernel for
9.3. that is that the ipt_rpc.ko isn't in the automatically loaded kernel.
Now all the client support libraries are there for iptables commands, but
alias the kernel doesn't know how to handle packet filtering for RPC.

Does anyone know how about we get RPC enables (kernel module loaded) for rpc.
Do we have to hack the kernel sources to put it it ( which we would prefer
not of course) or does anyone have any ideas that would assit us.

Thx


Alan

Have you gone into YaST Control Center -> Software -> Install and
Remove Software and searched for 'iptables'?
