what commands are you running to load it? modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp modprobe ip_nat_ftp should work. don't put the .o when using modprobe. Modprobe will install all prerequisite modules whereas insmod only tries to load the one specified. I have never seen them in modules.conf HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
