Your kernel can be built with ipchains support, in which case you can just continue to use your old ipchains ruleset with your new 2.4.x kernel. If you just give it a shot, I think you'll find that the differences between ipchains and iptables really aren't that vast, and that mostly the netfilter design makes a lot more sense, and the iptables interface removes a few annoyances that were present in ipchains. Unless you have an inordinately complex ruleset, I believe you can convert manually very easily. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
