Re: RE: IPTABLES
I'll flame you now because you were wrong (As you requested). IPCHAINS works with 2.2, IPTABLES works with 2.4...

Subject: RE: IPTABLES
Please flame me if I have this backwards, but I believe ip_tables only works under 2.2.x and earlier kernels, and the 2.4.x kernel introduced ip_chains and is incompatible with ip_tables.
You have to use the right one, even thought the package/module for both shows up (at least in Woody) and loads, but if you're using the 2.4 kernel the earlier stuff just "fails" like you're describing.
