Re: IP firewalls
One can use ipfwadm (or ipchains) in addition to iptables with 2.4.kernels:
CONFIG_IP_NF_COMPAT_IPFWADM
This option places ipfwadm (with masquerading and redirection
support) back into the kernel, using the new netfilter
infrastructure. It is not recommended for new installations (see
acket filtering'). With this enabled, you should be able to use
the ipfwadm tool exactly as in 2.0 kernels.
