I have a stupid question for you. When I installed 7.2 (later 7.3) I chose ipchains rather than iptables so that I could use my old 6.x firewall. What must I do to switch to iptables? [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qi iptables Name : iptables Relocations: /usr Version : 1.2.5 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 3 Build Date: Mon 04 Mar 2002 05:37:44 AM CST Install date: Tue 09 Jul 2002 02:28:18 PM CDT Build Host: daffy.perf.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: iptables-1.2.5-3.src.rpm Size : 389714 License: GPL Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> URL : http://www.netfilter.org/ Summary : Tools for managing Linux kernel packet filtering capabilities. Description : The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the Linux kernel. If you need to set up firewalls and/or IP masquerading, you should install this package. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# uname -r 2.4.18-5 I vaguely recall (imagine?) sometime in the past being told that I would have to build a new kernel.
