Hello Edward,
I had the same problem. I was in a hurry to get the thing running, probably
should have stuck with 6.1, but I didn't know it was going to be different, so I
didn't document the differences very well but here it goes anyway. Hopefully
I give you the right info.
Here is what I noticed/did.
Apparently, Redhat decided to make a nice little SysV script for ipchains.(I
,at least, did not know it was there when I started.)
The first thing this script does is wipe out user defined rules.
So after muddling along wondering why my rc.local stuff wasn't working I
finally read the script.
What I did was just go with the flow.
I put the "echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" in rc.local.
Then I entered my rules on the command line.(It was just easier that way. If
there are a lot of rules you may want to edit the file directly.)
Then I executed "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains save" and it writes the file in
"/etc/sysconfig/ipchains".
I then restarted, network and inet and it worked. These last two things may
not be necessary, but I did them, and like I said I wasn't paying a lot of
attention I just wanted it up and running fast and get out.
Hope it helps.
