And start ups:

autofs     cups        iptables   lvm2-monitor  matahari-sysconfig-console  network     postfix      rngd         saslauthd   udev-post

But when I installed CSF/LFD I am getting nothing. LFD does not create lfd.log and nor are any blocks being logged in /var/log/messages either from the firewall. This is not natural.

I looked for klogd but maybe I am looking in the wrong place for it to see if it is enabled?

ls /etc/init.d/syslog
ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/syslog: No such file or directory

Also noticed no syslog?

Also noticed this:

csf -d 84.113.21.201
Adding 84.113.21.201 to csf.deny and iptables DROP...
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.

I've never seen this before and this is a dedicated box.

Also:

 ./csftest.pl
Testing ip_tables/iptable_filter...OK
Testing ipt_LOG...OK
Testing ipt_multiport/xt_multiport...OK
Testing ipt_REJECT...OK
Testing ipt_state/xt_state...OK
Testing ipt_limit/xt_limit...OK
Testing ipt_recent...OK
Testing xt_connlimit...OK
Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner...OK
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_REDIRECT...OK
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_DNAT...OK

RESULT: csf should function on this server

iptables -L
