Depends on your kernel version. ipchains is the older kernel 2.2 version, kernel 2.4 has iptables, but with an option to continue with ipchains for legacy sites. I have used SuSEfirewall2 succesfully here, which sets up iptables. On Thursday, January 3, 2002, at 05:40 AM, LTG wrote:

If your kernel version support it, use IP tables. IP tables does stateful packet filtering while IP chains is stateless. Regards, Charles -- The box saids Windows XP or better, so I installed Linux
