grsecurity forums

I have just installed 2.4.18 from source with the latest 1.9.4 grsecurity patch. When I reboot the machine all is fine except the startup script for iptables fails. I am not sure what to do with it. I have 2.4.17 with the older gr patch and that ran fine for me with no problems. Please advise me on what to do.

Thanks

what's the error iptables gives? try loading your firewall script manually so you can see the error it puts out. It's most likely due to an error in your kernel configuration. No one else has had problems like that.

That is what I get every time.
