Topic: ip_block startup problem

[milend]

Hi,
I downloaded "IP Block Internet1 To 1 NAT"
from wget http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/loveless/SMEServer/contribs/ipblock_inet/beta/smeserver-ipblock_internet-tg-1.0-b2.noarch.rpm and
installed ip_block on SME 6.0.1-1 but I get some errors when masq starts.
(i got the same error when I tried to installed it on SME 5.6)

Here is the error message I found in my /var/log/messages file: =============================================
Sep 30 17:18:01 myhost masq: iptables v1.2.5:
Sep 30 17:18:01 myhost masq: Couldn"t load target "ipblock_inet":/lib/iptables/libipt_ipblock_inet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Sep 30 17:18:01 myhost masq: /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq: NEW: command not found Sep 30 17:18:01 myhost masq: done

==============================================

Is this a fatal error?
Does it mean that the installation failed?
Do you think that ip_block still will be functional?

I'm not sure.  Do you have any IP Block entries added?  Are you in Gateway mode?  Your other post makes it sound like the system is working?

Did you get errors from the rpm upon installation?  Or, just these messages in the log file?

Here are some more details:
-I'm running an upgraded version of SME 5.6 to SME 6.0.1-01
-I installed ip_block after i upgraded SME to v6.0.1-01
>Did you get errors from the rpm upon installation
-No, there were no errors during the install

>Or, just these messages in the log file?
-Yes, just these messages in the log file when masq starts
>Are you in Gateway mode?
-Yes, the server is running in Gateway mode.

>Do you have any IP Block entries added?
-Yes, i tested the installation by adding 3 IP addresses. For 2 of them ip_block seem to work fine.
But there are no any time intervals specified for these 2 entries.

For the 3rd one it does not work - maybe because there is time interval psecified.


Thank you very much for your reply!
