definitely both booted to 2.4.9-31... >>shouldn't having installed iptables from RH 7.2 rpms (and done all updates) mean >that the server is set up to use iptables? >>is there a simple way (no kernel recompiling please!) to sort modules problem out... >if it is even a modules problem? > >that's why i don't install kernel RPM!

Sorry Ican't help more! hmm... have compiled my own kernels in the past (few years ago) but have not felt the need since - sure it would bea reasonably steep learning curve for me again! :) I'm not too sure how recompiling the kernel myself would affect future rpm kernel updates - but I guess you're suggesting no more rpm updates? being a part-time sysadmin with lots (for me anyway) of machines under my administratorship I find installing everything via rpm - and using RHN network to keep clients up to date makes a lot of sense... I guess I would go down this path some time soon if I can't get it working without... but I really believe this should be a simple setup issue. anyway - will wait to see if anyone else has suggestions, thanks for your help & input to date! - dan. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
