Hi all, i am very new to Linux so have patience with me =3D))

I have a machine wich i Installed RedHat7.2, i have succesfully =
configured the machine so i can get out on the internet, and i used the =
up2date feature to update to the latest patches and so on.=20

The machine has kernel 2.4.9-13 and runs iptables v1.2.4

I used an example file called rc.DMZ.firewall wich i found on this site =
with the following tutorial,  =
http://www.boingworld.com/workshops/linux/iptables-tutorial/

When i try to run the script manually i get the following error =
messages, i understand that it cant find whatever it needs but how do i =
fix it? here is the messages i get:

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
iptables v1.2.4: Couldn=B4t load target `icmp_packets' =
:/lib/iptables/libipt_icmp_packets.so: cannot open shared object file: =
No such file or directory

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
iptables v1.2.4: Couldn=B4t load target `icmp_packets' =
