Wanting to install a firewall on my server and after hunting the web for a couple of hours I came to the conclusion that KISS was probably the best way to go. Especially since the DA guys were kind enough to create a custom version especially for use with DirectAdmin.
There is a thread about running KISS on DirectAdmin here.
In that thread there is someone mentioning problems with installing KISS on Fedora Core 2 and 3 (aparently it runs fine on Core 1). The problem is that the KISS scripts ends with the following errormessage: "Since the ip_tables, ipt_state, and/or ipt_multiport modules do not exist, KISS can not function. Firewall script aborted!".
Unfortunately the thread ends without a solution to the problem.
After looking at the KISS script, the problem seems to be that it references the files ip_tables.o and ipt_state.o and ipt_multiport.o (located in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter).
However, in Fedora Core 2 and 3 these files do not exists. There are however files named ip_tables.ko and ipt_state.ko and ipt_multiport.ko, so same filenames but different extensions (.ko vs .o).
Would it be enough to simply edit the KISS script and replace all reference to the .o files with .ko? Would that solve the problem?
