Funny, I don't see insmod.modutils installed in /usr/local/sbin:
ls -l /usr/local/sbin/insmod* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28834 Jul 9 14:36 /usr/local/sbin/insmod -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 461564 Jul 9 14:36 /usr/local/sbin/insmod.static
I also didn't find insmod.modutils in the module-init-tools-0.9.12 src: [root@www src]# find module-init-tools-0.9.12 -name "*insmod*" -print module-init-tools-0.9.12/doc/insmod.sgml module-init-tools-0.9.12/insmod.c module-init-tools-0.9.12/insmod.8 module-init-tools-0.9.12/.deps/insmod.Po module-init-tools-0.9.12/insmod.o module-init-tools-0.9.12/insmod module-init-tools-0.9.12/insmod.static [root@www src]#
