You can use Ipchains or Ipfwadm with your 2.4.x kernel if your kernel has
Ipchains or Ipfwadm support compiled in as a module. You can run lsmod as
root to check what modules are loaded. If you decide this, rmmod iptables
and insmod ipchains. Provided that the ipchains tools are installed, then
you should be good to go.
I'm only saying this because I've become a fan of 2.4.x series and Iptables
isn't too much of a stretch from Ipchains.

Subject: Re: [suse-security] Ipchains in SuSE 8.0
i actually run several of my server on SuSE 8.0 Pro
with kernel 2.2.19.. one of them was actually compiled
with the kernel source rpm from SuSE....
u will need to uninstall the 2.4 kernel, then install
the 2.2.19 rpm, and re-run lilo... a reboot should
load your 2.2.19 kernel with IPChains support...
good luck..

Someone know how to run Ipchains in SuSE 8.0?, I know that it run in
kernel 2.2.x, I installed the SuSE 8.0 and it is with kernel 2.4.18
How can I install kernel 2.2.x in SuSE 8 ??, but I should like to use my own script writen in 2.2 kernel
sorry the mistakes,
What about downloading a 2.2.21 from ftp.kernel.org and compiling that one ??? (approx. 20MB)
The better idea is to adapt your script to iptables, in order to be able to use netfilter meachnism of connection tracking [stateful firewall]. There are hints on www.netfilter.org.
