on redhat 7.1, there's an init script for ipchains and another for iptables. you can do: /sbin/chkconfig ipchains off /sbin/chkconfig iptables on
to set the ipchains stuff to not load on reboots, and the iptables stuff to instead. if you set any rules with ipchains, they won't be copied over. you'll have to add rules with iptables manually and then "service iptables save" to save them (to /etc/sysconfig/iptables) so they load on restarts. a bunch of that stuff is redhat-specific, and as i said that's 7.1, but i imagine it's similar on 7.2. there are plenty of other ways of accomplishing what you want to do, but the above is probably the most consistent with redhat's setup. good luck. -tcl.
