Hi,=20 I hope this will be of some help. I have yet to use RH7.2, but I have = used RH7.1 quite extensively so...=20 As Dmitry already said, you need to turn off ipchains. This could be = done in a couple of ways, this is only one possible solution: # chkconfig --level 0123456 ipchains off # service ipchains stop # rpm -e ipchains # rpm -e lokkit <some other autoconfig stuff dependant on ipchains> # chkconfig --level 2345 iptables on Finished deinstalling ipchains, now you can run a script with rules that = you would like to use, or add rules by hand and test the rules etcetera. = When you believe the ruleset looks ok, do the following: # service iptables save # service iptables stop # service iptables start Check that the ruleset was saved and loaded properly. Don't take these = advices as 100% foolproof, they are not. they where written down without = checking if they are correct or anything. In other words, standard GPL = procedure before using them=3D).
