I've run into a problem with the ip_conntract_ftp and ip_nat_ftp modules being dropped. I've got a script that adds this called from rc.local, and it works fine, but the later the modules disappear. The script has the following lines and works fine. insmod ip_conntrack_ftp insmod ip_nat_ftp Here is a lsmod list, and it shows the modules loaded, but later, both disappear. They don't have the autoclean, but further down the iptable_nat and ip_conntrack include these and the autoclean. After a while, these would diappear from the top, and from the iptable_nat and the ip_conntrack which do have the autoclean. This machine has 9 ethernet ports, with one connected to the backbone, and 8 others going to individual labs. (Planned) Is there a way to have these modules loaded so they will not be dropped. Currently I've added a cron option to reload every minute since the auto clean talkes about the time being about 1 minute. This is Fedora Core 1 with the 2.188 kernel.
