More than is needed. But your "rmmod ipchains" is needed. I forgot that this was not done by "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop". It should be. So: A: for current boot: service ipchains stop # stop IPChains now. rmmod ipchains # clear it out of memory service iptables start # start IPTables now. B: for future boots chkconfig ipchains off # select the "off" set if rcN.d entries automatically chkconfig iptables on # select the "on" set if rcN.d entries automatically A and B can be done in either order. {^_^} -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
