This is another place Greg screwed up. You cannot mix ipchains and iptables. ipt_MASQUERADE is apparently a part of the (pathetic) ipchains emulation under iptables.
"rpm -e ipchains" is always a worthwhile exercise on modern stups. Then ONLY the valid iptables modules are left.
Actually, I didn't screw this up...
[root@lanfest1 usr]# rpm -e ipchains error: package ipchains is not installed
The problem is with the default module build shipping with the beta. And since I don't have the source rpms (dialup here), I'm not in a position to rebuild them.
Greg, I thought that was you trying to install ipt_MASQUERADE. Unless it changed with the most recent kernels that is not one of the modules involved. Of course, your "screwup" might have been entirely excusable if it was an automated firewall setup tool that tried to add that module. And given how tenaciously Red Hat hung on with ipchains I'd not want to bet that even at this date the last vistages of ipchains are gone.
