Full Discussion: How do I load kernel modules so BestCrypt will work
Operating Systems Linux SuSE How do I load kernel modules so BestCrypt will work Post 58143 by CTroxtell21 on Sunday 14th of November 2004 07:22:47 PM
Old 11-14-2004
As you can see below I tryed the #insmod but for some reason I don't know how to use it or something but it keeps throwing back an error. With modprobe it don't give an error but it still gives an error on trying to run bctool. Am I using these commands right and do I need to install just the module I need to use like blowfish? I done a #man modprobe and noticed this:

modprobe looks in the module directory /lib/modules/?uname -r? for all the modules and other files, except for the optional /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d (see modprobe.conf(5)).
I checked but there is no such directory or file in /lib/modules/ there is just the 2.6.8-24-default, precompiled and scripts folder in here.

linux:/etc # modprobe cryptoloop
linux:/home/chris/Desktop # insmod blowfish
insmod: can't read 'blowfish': No such file or directory
linux:/home/chris/Desktop # modprobe blowfish
linux:/home/chris/Desktop # bctool

INSMOD(8)                                                             insmod                                                             INSMOD(8)

NAME

       insmod - Simple program to insert a module into the Linux Kernel

SYNOPSIS

       insmod [filename] [module options...]

DESCRIPTION

       insmod is a trivial program to insert a module into the kernel. Most users will want to use modprobe(8) instead, which is more clever and
       can handle module dependencies.

       Only the most general of error messages are reported: as the work of trying to link the module is now done inside the kernel, the dmesg
       usually gives more information about errors.
