Re: ipchains -> iptables converter?
The question is whether or not there is something I can use to just convert
these to iptables world.
When you configure the kernel in the netfilter/iptbales configuration
(under networking) there are two options: ipchains support and ipfw support.
With these you can compile a 2.4 kernel, use ipchains or ipfwadm to set
the rules and the kernel will map them to netfilter.
I wouldn't reccomend this, because doing so you'll never learn the way
iptables works.
I've done a quick search and I can't find any tool to do the conversion.
No tool is mentioned in the howtos or in the netfilter faq.
Maybe you could try some firewall administration tools and search one
that is ables to load the rules in ipchains format and save them in
iptables one.
I've tried installing ferm and mason but they doesn't seems to be able
to do this.
Best regards
