Hmm... well, this is a fresh install from CD's I downloaded from Red
Hat so I wouldn't expect the kernel to be modded.  Now, the default
up2date config excludes the kernel from updating and I'm running
2.6.5-1.358, I suppose I should let up2date update the kernel as well.

Ok, my mistake, I checked
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ and the files are
there but they all have .ko on the end of the file names, I assume
that's normal.  And upon further review of modprobe -l I can see that
these modules are already loaded as Michael suggests.  So maybe I
don't need them at all in my script.

Thanks,
Linn
