Re: ipchains and kernel 2.4.3
I seems like kernel 2.4.3 doesn't support ipchains any longer. This is partially true. There is a "compatibility" module, supporting ipchains (and even the filters of linux 2.0.x). This is not recommended, though. Some other modules (like ftp masq module and ipmasqadm modules) don't work anymore (according to my experiences. Still want to use ipchains.... Go to 2.2.19 or switch to iptables. It takes you about half a day to get into it. You will like it! :)
is it worth to try out yet? it seems iptables is still in an development process. yours B
is it worth to try out yet? it seems iptables is still in an development process. Kernel 2.4.3 can also be considered as "in development process". It shouldn't be used on real world firewalls (though I don't know about any bugs). You should go back to 2.2.19 for security and learn iptables on another machine for testing purposes and to be prepared for the future development of linux. yours B you may want to use a real name and email-address, according to netiquette and other (un)written standards.
