Subject: Re: iptables being denied because ipchains is being used?

I am currently using IPTABLES through my firewall and it works nicely. All
you need to do is run setup then go to system services and disable ipchains
and enable iptables. reboot and your good to go. As a matter of fact I use
iptables to block the NIMDA virus from my network. works very well.  over
the past week I have blocked over 91 ip address.  This is a shell script in
addition to a couple of perl scripts that are setup on my box to scan the
access_log on apache and automatically add them to my iptables. this is also
added to the iptables script at boot up. I set up a cron job to
automatically do this.  If anyone would like it I would be happy to share!
:)

Subject: iptables being denied because ipchains is being used?

I have loaded RedHat 7.2 onto my computer for the 2.4 kernel
capabilities. Especially the ipchains capabilities. When I went to run any
iptables commands I came to find out that that the iptables command was not
available. But that the ipchains command is? In fact it looks like the
default RedHat install used ipchains instead of iptables? I have the
2.4.7-10 kernel. Anybody know what the H$!! is up with that, and how I can
use iptables. My understanding is that iptables is much better than
ipchains.

THX in advance,

Kent Miller
