Hello all,
I'm new to gentoo so this will be my first post on the forum. GENTOO ROCKS!

I have a problem with enabling ufw.
It seems that there is some misconfiguration in the: user.rules and user6.rules.
when i:
Code:
 ufw enable
:
Quote:
ERROR: Could not load logging rules

also when:
Code:
 /usr/share/ufw/check-requirements

Quote:

DROP: pass
REJECT: pass
LOG: FAIL
error was: iptables v1.8.2 (legacy): Couldn't load target `LOG':No such file or directory
...
=== IPv6 ===
...
DROP: pass
REJECT: pass
LOG: FAIL
error was: ip6tables v1.8.2 (legacy): Couldn't load target `LOG':No such file or directory
...

My user.rules file follows default:

I've disabled IPv6 support
and some poking around i think it might be this line that's causing the no-joy
( i've re-emerged and couldn't reproduce this specific error)

Is there anyone that can shine some light?
Much appreciated!

Hello z0qxD0rf,

welcome to the Gentoo forums!

I'm not an expert, but I think the error message
Code:
error was: iptables v1.8.2 (legacy): Couldn't load target 'LOG': No such file or directory

was thrown because your test program tried to add a rule with a LOG target. It failed because the kernel Netfilter LOG module was not available. It tried to load that module, but it couldn't find it.

Please show us the output of
Code:
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep "CONFIG_N.*LOG"

and of
Code:
lsmod

and of
Code:
emerge --info

Mike

Hey....

i was using ufw and gufw as well for a while, lazy as i am i...

But......

If you realy want to have it working and fully compatible to other deamons like fail2ban and others, you better use directly iptables.
Security Deamons will automaticly read the log files and if in need add some rules automaticliy to iptables.
Years ago i was figuring out how to secure smtp and dovecot i changed the path to the log and fail2ban was able to read the syslog and block .....
i hopep you got it ;)

The logic behind iptable is pure logic.

I am about to kick on all my systems ufw and gufw it is nothing more like a Desktop Firewall for endusers, nothing for Servers or complex security solutions......

Regards.
