Do the following: /sbin/chkconfig --del ipchains /sbin/service ipchains stop /sbin/modprobe -r ipchains The above gets rid of ipchains both in the current session and for future sessions. Then do: /sbin/chkconfig --levels 2345 iptables on Then try loading your iptables. Should work now. BTW, the first RH 1.2.4 rpms were compiled with debugging enabled. This will mess up a lot of scripts that call iptables. Best thing to do is to upgrade to the latest iptables v1.2.5 from the rawhide ftp repository at ftp.redhat.com jb -- Jack Bowling mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
