Dynamic kernel module load

["Paul Harlow" <pharlow@skld.com>]

Hi all,

Fedora 5 patched, i386 SMP

I am looking for info on how to dynamically load a particular kernel module 
when I restart IPTables. I have firewalling rules in place for FTP traffic 
(both passive and active) however when I restart IPTables I notice that the 
module ip_conntrack_ftp does not load, I have to load it manually. This 
presents a problem if someone other than myself has to reload firewall rules on 
this machine but isn't aware of the FTP rules/needs.

Will adding the line "ip_conntrack_ftp" to the modules.conf file solve this 
problem and leave the particular module in permanently?
