gentoo iptables problem

[Jude DaShiell]

Quite right none of iptable's supporting modules got compiled.  How might 
someone install gentoo in such a way that all four of the iptables support 
modules get compiled?  I wasn't able to build those as modules after the 
fact.  This is a real security deficiency in gentoo since I've not been 
able to find any gentoo tutorial or howto using google that deals with 
this topic.  What's more, slackware and debian don't have this problem on 
default installations with speakup.  Doing iptables -nL on either of these 
other systems when iptables hasn't been otherwise adjusted shows all three 
chains as set to ACCEPT which is the iptables default before any rules get 
defined.  If someone thought they'd like to use gentoo as a bootable I'd 
say fine so long as you have no data anywhere else on the machine to 
protect or anywhere else on the network since iptables and supporting 
modules aren't on the livecd and must be downloaded.
