Hello!


FATAL error when starting shorewall. Shorewall seems to functioning though.

"Processing /etc/shorewall/start ...
FATAL: Module ip_set not found.
ipset v2.2.9a: Error from kernel: Protocol not available
iptables v1.3.7: Problem when communicating with ipset, errno=92.

FATAL: Module ip_set not found.
ipset v2.2.9a: Error from kernel: Protocol not available
iptables v1.3.7: Problem when communicating with ipset, errno=92.

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
Processing /etc/shorewall/started ...
done."

Cannot find module ip_set. Is the module necessary for safe using of
shorewall?

Regards

See http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=32399

I have the same, but as far as my limited testing has shown, iptables (which
shorewall is just a configuration front end), is still working correctly..

I'm not sure what the ip_set kernel module is actually used for, but for
a simple internet client, everything seems to be working ok without it.

I don't know about nat, etc.
