Re: iptables and 2.4.1
You "generaly" must replace "ipchains" with "iptables" in your script if you
want to have the possibilities of Iptables, I don't know in how far they
changed the syntax, rtfm. If you still want to use ipchains you must compile
your kernel with backward compatibility (not to remind that you possibly
must compile your kernel anyway for using iptables!!!). Also you must have
the netfilter tools (just search for netfilter at freshmeat.net, there you
are :)).
