Fedora 3, missing ip_conntrack_ftp & ip_nat_ftp

Fedora 3, missing ip_conntrack_ftp & ip_nat_ftp

[Chris Brenton]

Greets all,

I have a pretty basic Fedora 3 install with all patches installed via
Yum. I'm using the box as a network firewall and need support for
outbound PASV FTP. I tried to modprobe the modules ip_conntrack_ftp and
ip_nat_ftp, but I get an error saying the files do not exist. A quick ls
of /sys/modules confirms this. 

Any idea what I'm missing? I know I could pull down source and install
that way, but I would prefer to do it via RPM's & Yum so I can easily
keep the box up to date. 

Any and all help greatly appreciated,
Chris

/sys/modules?  huh?  try:

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/*_ftp*

i don't have an FC3 box in my stable anymore, but i'm pretty
sure i would've noticed this when i did have one.  unless they've
broken something with a recent kernel update (last one i saw was
kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3), which is not entirely beyond the realm of
possibility, i suppose...  i assume they would've noticed that by now,
as that update was released on 5/23.

That did the trick. Running insmod while referencing that directory
caused the appropriate /sys/modules entry to get created. That was the
piece I was missing.

Thanks!
