Hello,

I am getting errors running iptables, the next line of which is an
example:

	iptables v1.2.2: Couldn't load target `int-ext':/usr/local/lib/\
	iptables/libipt_int-ext.so: cannot open shared object file: No \
	such file or directory

	Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

Note that it lists target "int-ext".  this message exists for ALL
permutations of my target user-defined chains.  I can't tell if this is
an error, or something else.

All modules are loading correctly that i can tell.  could you guys take
a look at my configuration enclosed and tell me if there is some
fundamental flaw in my command lines?  I do not wish you to evaluate my
firewall schema.  That comes later.  I just can't shake the feeling I
have some syntax wrong.

I have installed iptables, version 1.2.2 into the default locations
using plain old make, with no special goodies.  I have compiled iptables
on a redhat 7.1 machine that has a pristine linux 2.4.7 build directory
in it.


Here is my initial iptables configuration:
	iptables -P INPUT DROP
	iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
	iptables -P FORWARD DROP


	iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j int-ext
	iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ext-int
	iptables -A INPUT   -i eth0         -j int-os
	iptables -A INPUT   -i eth1         -j ext-os
	iptables -A OUTPUT  -o eth0         -j os-int
	iptables -A OUTPUT  -o eth1         -j os-ext

	# internal to external network
	# default policy: allow all outgoing connections
	iptables -N int-ext
	iptables -A int-ext -j ACCEPT
	iptables -A int-ext -j DROP

	# internal to Local process
	# default policy: allow all internal to local process
	iptables -N int-os
	iptables -A int-os -j ACCEPT
	iptables -A int-os -j DROP

	# external to internal network
	# default: allow only related responses to outbound initiated
	# packets
	iptables -N ext-int
	iptables -A ext-int -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j
	ACCEPT
	iptables -A ext-int -j DROP

	# external to local process
	# default: 
	#       Allow inbound to sshd port
	#       allow only related responses to outbound initiated
	#       packets
	iptables -N ext-os
	iptables -A ext-os -p tcp --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT
	iptables -A ext-os -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j
	ACCEPT
	iptables -A ext-os -j DROP


	# Local process to external hosts
	# default: allow all
	iptables -N os-ext
	iptables -A os-ext -j ACCEPT
	iptables -A os-ext -j DROP

	# Local process to internal hosts
	# default: allow all
	iptables -N os-int
	iptables -A os-int -j ACCEPT
	iptables -A os-int -j DROP
