    I am getting the following errormessage when I try to access the webmin Linux Firewall module:

    FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-grsec2.1.11-vs2.2.0.6/modules.dep: No such file or directory                 |iptables v1.4.2: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)                       GRUB Boot Loader      | Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

    check you have iptables installed properly

    go to bootup/shutdown and shutdown ipables (leave it to run on reboot)
    either manually
    yum remove iptables
    yum install iptables
    or use software package module to remove iptables and then install it
    d

    I have already tried that.

    It does not work. I removed it using apt-get and then installed it again, and when I do iptables -L i get that error message as well.
    I'm using Debian 2.6.26
