[ts-7000] iptables: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Bad file

["Rekcut_Nod" <>]

Hello, I am running a 2.6.21 kernel on the TS7260.  I have rebuilt the kernel 
with iptables support enabled:

ts7000:~# lsmod | grep iptable
iptable_filter 2368 0
ip_tables 10952 1 iptable_filter

However, when I try to use iptables I get an error:

ts7000:~# iptables -L
iptables v1.3.6: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Bad file
descriptor
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

This is the first time I have used iptables. Is there something else that needs 
to be done before I can run the above command?

I tried to manually build and install version 1.4.9.1 of iptables (since 1.3.6 
is the latest version for debian etch) and received the same error. I also read 
that the "Bad file descriptor" error can sometimes mean file system corruption, 
so I ran fsck on the file system and it is clean.

If anyone can suggest things to try to resolve this problem, I'd be very 
grateful.

Thanks,
Don
