ip6tables does not work in VE

For more information see http://bugs.debian.org/590321


Hi,

I've just discovered, that in a squeeze VE on a squeeze OpenVZ host, ip6tables does not work:

root@guest:~# ip6tables -nL
FATAL: Module ip6_tables not found.
ip6tables v1.4.8: can't initialize ip6tables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)
Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

vz.conf vars:
## IPv4 iptables kernel modules
IPTABLES="ipt_REJECT ipt_tos ipt_limit ipt_multiport iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_TCPMSS ipt_tcpmss ipt_ttl ipt_length"

## Enable IPv6
IPV6="yes"

## IPv6 ip6tables kernel modules
IP6TABLES="ip6_tables ip6table_filter ip6table_mangle ip6t_REJECT"

root@guest:~# cat /proc/net/ip6_tables_names
mangle
filter


I'm unsure where to go debug next; filing against vzctl as I think this is probably a configuration problem.

Thanks,
Christian
