Ive also noticed that by default IPTABLES seems to be broken in 7.1 AND 7.2, i have had no luck with iptables at all, hopefully this will be fixed soon in the next release of redhat, it realy should work out of the box. IPTABLES is basically taking over IPCHAINS as i understand it because IPTABLES is much better, so i hear. As far as your problem not being able to ssh in telnet in etc you have some IPCHAINS rule somewhere that blocks it. By doing a ipchains -F your flushing ALL your rules and allowing everything in and out of your ethernet card. Perhaps if you would explain exactly what this box is doing someone could offer you a nice firewall script to replace /etc/sysconfig/ipchains (thats what it is in 7.2 and i think 7.1). If i were you i would turn off iptables in setup. Its broke anyway, why bother with it, and IPTABLES will do what you need.
As far as your quest for kickstart, i strongly recomend you look into it. Its a nice thing, however! Untill 7.2 kickstart (sorry redhat) was realy crap. It did weird things i wont go into here too many hairs pulled out and moons ago. Redhat 7.2 kickstart is GREAT, no longer will it just die on you if you misconfigure your disk space nor will it die from DEPS, it actually just says, hey moron this is not right, fix it and ill go on with your install. I hope this helped in some way, i do what i can, us newbies gotta stick together! Jim. PS* Get Redhat 7.2 you cant go wrong! www.linuxiso.org is a good source. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ragnar Wiencke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 7:56 AM Subject: IP something confusion > Hi guys. > > I just installed a RH 7.1 server installation.
