RH includes both ipchains and iptables but they are mutually exclusive at run time. By default RH's firewall scripts use iptables. how can I decide when to use ipchains or when to use iptables? Can anyone explain the basis of decision making? thanx in advance. ~ Tauhid ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sometimes Action Speaks Louder Than Words." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe email security-discuss-request@linuxsecurity.com with "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
