* Brooklyn Linux Solutions CEO (ruben@www2.mrbrklyn.com) [010423 22:15]: =>> The suse firewall package does not use iptables, it uses ipchains, which =>> is a kerenl 2.2 feature. The kernel 2.4 has backwards compatibility with =>> 2.2's ipchains via a module. => => =>I tried my old firewall script and it says =>root@www2:/home/ruben/docs > ./firewall.txt =>ipchains: setting MASQ timeouts failed: Protocol not available =>ipchains: Protocol not available =>ipchains: Protocol not available I had issues with iptables..and I was quite happy with my old firewall scripts..so I just load the ipchains module via boot.local and it works. It may not be the clean way to do it..but it works. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
