When I restart iptables, I'm getting this error:

Code:
/usr/lib64/xtables/libipt_icmp.so: no "icmp" extension found for this protocol


Can anyone decode for me what it's complaining about? Am I missing a kernel option or something else?

Code:
:icmp - [0:0]

[45:2160] -A INPUT -s 169.254.0.0/16 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
[341:19312] -A INPUT -s 172.16.0.0/12 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

[12595:1442565] -A INPUT -p icmp -j icmp

[2608:139281] -A icmp -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT
[1:96] -A icmp -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 3/4 -j ACCEPT
[9874:1295355] -A icmp -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 3 -j ACCEPT
[0:0] -A icmp -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 4 -j ACCEPT
[0:0] -A icmp -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 12 -j ACCEPT
[73:4852] -A icmp -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 11 -j ACCEPT
[22:1616] -A icmp -p icmp -j DROP

Hi Philippe23
I might be totally crazy for asking this but, have you enabled Xtables in your kernel?
In the kernel config, you will find it here:
Code:
Networking support 
-> Networking options 
 -> Network packet filtering framework
  -> Core Netfilter Configuration

shouldn't this be -j ACCEPT or some other chain? I don't think -j icmp is valid

"icmp" is the name of my chain that deals with ICMP traffic.

I'm getting this as well; did you ever figure out what was causing it?

Who is complaining, iptables or the kernel (what is the source of the error
message)? If it is iptables, you should be able to strace it or run it in
gdb (emerge it with debug information enabled in CFLAGS first, don't
strip it, etc; -ggdb in CFLAGS and FEATURES="splitdebug" in
/etc/portage/make.conf is handy for this) and see what iptables
function is complaining, what it is looking for and not finding, etc.
