The question was 'where to do iptables setup'. Iptables is the next
step, beyond ipchains. (iptbles != ipchains).
My potato setup 'used' to look for ipchains until I upgraded the
kernel to 2.4.x and then went to the improved iptables.
I am glad that I am not the only one who reads one thing and writes
about something else. On another list yesterday, I answered an
ipchains question with an iptables answer. :-(
Offtopic: On that sig you have to remove the ^M. I am too lazy I
guess. I use the dos2linux or unix2dos programs. Your newbie tip,
for me, is way too much for this senior citizen to remember.
Cheers buddy.... :-)
