Please tell me it isn't so :-( I was just about to head to CompUSA and pick up a copy. This would be bad as my firewall is combo of ipchains/snort/etc. /Dee -----Original Message----- From: Fred A.

you just need to compile the kernel to support old-style ipchains i think no big deal

All you have to do is load the module for ipchains. It's most likely not loading by default but it does exist in the kernel since I'm using 2.4.13 out of Huberts directory and it works fine :) * W.D.McKinney (deem@wdm.com) [011031 10:26]: ->Please tell me it isn't so :-( I was just about to head to CompUSA and pick ->up a copy. ->This would be bad as my firewall is combo of ipchains/snort/etc. -> ->/Dee ->-----Original Message----- ->From: Fred A.

I knew someone would be able to help.
