This is the standard error one gets when iptables is loaded *after* ipchains is also loaded. As root, do: /sbin/service ipchains stop /sbin/chkconfig --del ipchains /sbin/modprobe -r ipchains then try your iptables stuff again. Since you have experience with iptables on another server, I doubt that you would make this newbie blunder...but never hurts to be sure. -- Jack Bowling mailto: jbinpg@xxxxxxx -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
