can't get nistnet running

[ultramagnetic]

Hi,
I'm new to Linux, but for testing purposes I need a machine with Linux and Nistnet. I have the Ubuntu-distro 5.04 installed (Kernel 2,6,10-5-386), and after struggling a whole day I get no more errors when compiling Nistnet (following the installation guidelines on http://w3.antd.nist.gov/tools/nistnet/install.html) . I was happy as a little boy the first time I compiled it without errors, but when I tried to load the kernel module for the first time, the following error occured:

root@ubuntu:/home/chris/files/nistnet # ./Load.Nistnet

rtc module removed - you may want to reinstall it
(with modprobe rtc) after you are done with nistnet
FATAL: Module nistnet not found.
Problems with modprobe, repeating with debug on
FATAL: Module nistnet not found.


A second try brought this:

ERROR: Module rtc does not exist in /proc/modules
Couldn't find rtc module - /dev/rtc will be mostly
unusable after running nistnet. Sorry about that....
To prevent this message, recompile rtc
(Enhanced Real Time Clock Support, under
character devices) as a module.
FATAL: Module nistnet not found.
Problems with modprobe, repeating with debug on
FATAL: Module nistnet not found.

I am desperate by now, but I need that prog.

I searched for a module called nistnet with "find / -name nistnet",
and I found one file, /dev/nistnet, which has the size 0.

????

What do I have to do, what is wrong????

hi ultramagnetic,

what did you do that solved your problem? i am facing the same situation.

the module was placed in the wrong directory. I copied it to /lib/modules/[kernel], rebooted the machine and it worked. the module (if you could compile it without errors) is called nistnet.ko

I don't know which distro you have, maybe your directory for kernel modules is another

hey guys

for nistnet,

can someone explain why the delay doesn't work? i tcpdumped packets and the the does NOT delay every packet, it delays every "window" of packets. Isn't it supposed to take every incoming packet and delay it by 1000 if i use the --delay 1000 flag?

Thanks

hi ultramagnetic,

i run mandriva LE2005.

where is the nisnet.ko located after compilation? i can't locate it.

make sure you do something for kernel like
copy your_defualt_configurateion to the right directory
then make oldconfig

the compliatoin of nistnet needs the information
you may find nistnet.ko

find ./ -name nistnet*

good luck
I am sorry saying anything briefly
