It was replaced by netfilter. I would recommend that you learn how to use iptables (links below); otherwise you won't be able to use the advanced capabilities of netfilter. netfilter does, however, have an ipchains compatibility module. In menuconfig, go to "Networking options" -> "IP: Netfilter Configuration" - -> "ipchains (2.2-style) support". > i'd like to learn how to drop packets coming from a particular host -- is > there a netfilter howto yet? i didn't see anything on LDP. http://netfilter.samba.org That link has documentation and downloads. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE5+w+G/ZTSZFDeHPwRAqzCAJ4hBsJDvlSJmq8oAbNL71K35MKlRgCdGVQ2 AxDYTZmSBx/0JcZVlDWDSew= =dkFq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
