Steven said to try with just FIREWALL, IP_FIREWALL and IP_MASQUERADE.

That's in addition to everything already set in
the default BL3 kernel.

CONFIG_PACKET=Y
CONFIG_UNIX=Y
CONFIG_INET=Y


What other lines are relevant to firewalls?

Lots. If you want a full list, see the HOWTO.

David listed everything in the 'big' kernel,
which I hope I do not need.

As I said above, start with the config for the
default BL3 kernel, add FIREWALL, IP_FIREWALL
and IP_MASQUERADE.

I am configuring for 2.4.31, which supports USB and also works with the 3 nfs modules which would not insert in 2.2.26 or 2.2.16 with p1 kernel. The non-pentium kernels don't boot on some of our machines with ramdisk or loop linux. So I can't use the BL3 configuration (for 2.2.26).

2.4.31 uses a different system, proxy instead of packet, and does not have those three config lines. A search on ipchains and masquerade in kernel documentation suggested:

CONFIG_NETFILTER=Y to use masquerade
CONFIG_IP_NF_COMPAT_IPCHAINS=Y to 'put back' ipchains capability

I did not find FIREWALL in .config
David, or anyone else with 2.4.31, are these two all I need?

Cheers,
Steven
