Slackware 10 w/ ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp modules?
I got Slackware 10 (small) up and running w/ everything working just great. However, when I tried getting iptables to work, I can't seem to find the following modules to load:
ipnatftp
ipconntrackftp
When issued
modprobe ip_nat_ftp
I get
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.4.26-linode31-1um/modules.dep: No such file or directory
The same thing for
modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
I get
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.4.26-linode31-1um/modules.dep: No such file or directory
When I ls "/lib/modules", the dir is empty. Doing a "locate ipconntrackftp" does give me this:
/usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_conntrack_ftp.h
Being somewhat new to the Linux OS, where/how do I get the modules for Slackware?
On a minor but separate issue… "man" command also isn't installed in Slackware 10 (small). Issuing "man" gets me
-bash: man: command not found
After issuing "swaret –install man", I installed man-1.5l-i386-1 and man-pages-1.60-noarch-1. Then doing a "man ls" gets me this error:
sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gtbl: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /usr/bin/nroff: No such file or directory
lines ?-?/? (END)
Any idea how to get "man" to work?
Thank you…

As far as your "man" problem (no pun intended), it looks to me like man has dependencies on gtbl and nroff.

@caker:
Modules are disabled in the Linode kernels since they would present a security problem (insmod gimmiehostshell, or insmod hackmeto_host, or something). However, everything you need should already be compiled into the kernel:

So w/o having to load the modules physically, everything should just "automagically" work, eh? I'll give that a shot… Thanks..

Yes.-Chris
This is simply incredible… Works as advertised!
And for future newbies… to get "gtbl" and "nroff", install "groff" and all problems are solved….
Cheers!
