I think I managed to work around the issue, although I think kmod should
of course return a more descriptive (error) message when a module is not
found.
Since I don't have a system with kmod here I can't test the fix. If you
like you can grab the latest nightly from
http://rocky.eld.leidenuniv.nl/arno-iptables-firewall/arno-iptables-firewall_nightly.tar.gz
and report back.
cheers,
Arno

Hello.
The modprobe() and modprobe_multi() functions inside
/usr/share/arno-iptables-firewall/environment contain this check:
if ! echo "$result" |grep -q -e "Module .* not found" -e "Can't locate module";
if it matches, either the "Assuming compiled-in" message, or nothing
(depending on config switch setting) is printed.
All other messages trigger a red ERROR printout.
Except, this check works only with "old" modprobe which printed that message.
Kmod when called through modprobe symlink just returns 1 with no error message
when the module is missing.
Well, at least that's what happens on the monolithic module-less Linode kernel.
Thus, whenever I reload the firewall I get a screenful of red
/sbin/modprobe <module name here>
ERROR (1):
messages, without anything after the colon (as kmod didn't print a thing)
To emphasize, this bypasses the $COMPILED_IN_KERNEL_MESSAGES check.
This false error prints in any case.
Kmod version 8-2, current from testing. If you consider this "silent" return
of 1 to be a bug in kmod, please reassign this bug.
Best regards,
