... if I have to ask google ...
... why does this mailing-list exist ? ...
... thought this mailing-list is to discuss different topics ... and not
only for "Firewall-Experts" ...

... now I'm not sure if I did understand that right ...
.. IP-Chains can analyze if a packet is permitted to "go to the target system" or not ( if so, the packet will be dropped or routed ) .. IP-Tables can analyze all packets and Flags ( SYN, FIN, etc. ) no matter where the packets destination is ( if a rule will apply the packet will be dropped or routed )
.. right so ?!?!??!?!??!?!
not really. again ! ask google ! e.g : compare iptables ipchains here the first link in list http://www.oofle.com/iptables/comparison.htm Yours Michael Appeldorn
