[SOLVED] Module Installations

[gglinuxforums]

Hi Guys,

I have 4 modules that I need to install everytime I restart my linux box,

eg

#Modprobe ip_conntrack_pptp
#Modprobe ip_nat_pptp
#Modprobe nf_nat_proto_gre
#Modprobe nf_conntrack_proto_gre

Is there anyway I can install these modules into the system so I do not have to keep rewriting these module commands.

The old way, (and the way it is still done in CRUX) is by editing /etc/modprobe.conf. These days, many distros use /etc/modprobe.d/ which contains several files where you can configure how modules are loaded or ignored. See this for more on how to set it up.

Are you saying that i type "Modprobe ip_conntrack_pptp" in /etc/modprobe.conf

You have /etc/modprobe.conf? Let me show you mine to get an idea:

 
#
# /etc/modprobe.conf: modprobe(8) configuration

alias eth0 e1000e

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.18 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

# End of file

Check this page for ideas on how to set your modules up in your etc/modprobe.conf. Another option is to add what you have to your /etc/rc.local:

/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_pptp
/sbin/modprobe ip_nat_pptp
/sbin/modprobe nf_nat_proto_gre
/sbin/modprobe nf_conntrack_proto_gre

Not as elegant but if it works...
