Hello Fellow Red Hatters:
I just downloaded 5.1 and installed it with no problem. I went to
recompile my kernel, because I need to set up IP Masquerading for my
Windows 95 Box (blush). I followed all of the same steps as I had it set
up under 5.0 running kernel 2.0.33. Here is all of the options that I
chose in the Networking section of make config:
#
# Networking options
#
CONFIG_FIREWALL=y
# CONFIG_NET_ALIAS is not set
CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_IP_FORWARD=y
CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL=y
# CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_VERBOSE is not set
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_IPAUTOFW=y
CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP=y
# CONFIG_IP_TRANSPARENT_PROXY is not set
CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG=y
# CONFIG_IP_ACCT is not set
CONFIG_IP_ROUTER=y
# CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set
# CONFIG_IP_MROUTE is not set
# CONFIG_INET_PCTCP is not set
# CONFIG_INET_RARP is not set
# CONFIG_NO_PATH_MTU_DISCOVERY is not set
CONFIG_IP_NOSR=y
CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y
# CONFIG_IPX is not set
# CONFIG_ATALK is not set
# CONFIG_AX25 is not set
# CONFIG_BRIDGE is not set
# CONFIG_NETLINK is not set
This is the identical setup that I had on my kernel 2.0.33. When I went
to make zlilo, I got:
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.34/net/core'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.34/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes

make[3]: *** [firewall.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [sub_dirs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.34/net'
make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2
It appears that I have to choose Firewalls to be on, or I no longer get
the IP Masquerading choice. I looked in the /usr/src/linux-2.0.34/net/core
directory and notice that there are 2 files, one called firewall.c and the
other called firewall.c.moduleHACK. Is this something that the folks at
Red Hat made a change to, or is this a problem with this version of the
kernel? Anyone else seen and/or fixed this?
- Mike
