IPchains oddity



Greetings--

I've been playing around with ipchains with respect to redirect
rules; just a basic setup, to redirect a high port to a low one locally.
I already have IPmasqing setup, so the forwarding business is taken
care of, and I am fairly certain 'transparent proxying' was compiled (this
is a headless server-- it's been 3 months since it was installed).

The ipchains version is: ipchains 1.3.8, 27-Oct-1998

Here's the oddity (as an example):

ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 8080 -j REDIRECT 80

and the error:

ipchains: No chain by that name

Even more interesting:

ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 8080 -j ACCEPT     
[fine]

ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 8080 -j DENY
[fine]

ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 8080 -j REJECT
[fine]

ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 8080 -j REDIRECT 
ipchains: No chain by that name

I'm a bit stumped at this point-- any tips would be great.

Regards--

R. Gregory
