Well, their startup scripts both exist by default. However, you can only configure one or the other. By configure I mean actually create the configuration file.... /etc/sysconfig/ipchais, for example. If you happen to configure both ipchains and iptables then only ipchains will actually start since "c" comes before "t" and the modules that ipchains envokes will clash with those of iptables. Of course, you could use something like "shorewall" to manage all of your iptables needs and then the ipchains and iptables init scripts become irrelevant.
