You might want to use the new "stateful firewall" feature in the
2.4 kernel. So uou need to upgrade the kernel to 2.4 on RH7.0. Also you
need to recompile the kernel with this feature enabled.
I recompiled the kernel on Wolverine and used the following iptables
commands to setup a stateful firewall:
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
or
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT
