Best thing to do first is get rid of IPCHAINS. Most IPTABLES scripts will not work when IPCHAINS is installed. To find out if IPCHAINS is installed, do this: rpm -q ipchains To remove IPCHAINS, do this: rpm -e ipchains Then reboot. (you can unload and load the appropriate kernel modules if rebooting is not desired) Then try out your scripts. If you need to find some already made scripts, try here. This place should be your 'go-to' for IPTABLES stuff. http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/ -----Original Message----- From: listadmin@linuxsecurity.com [mailto:listadmin@linuxsecurity.com]On Behalf Of Prem Chandra Kumar.N Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 10:02 PM To: security-discuss@linuxsecurity.com Subject: Configuring RedHat Linux 7.1 as a gateway server without IPChains.
