It sounds like it, but I can't explain it. This is basic stuff that the
installer takes care of by itself.

Where do you look for rc.local ?
Its full path is /etc/rc.d/rc.local
ipchains is usually in /sbin and you won't have it in a user path
normally.
To set it up, go to www.pointman.org and download pmfirewall. It is a
script that helps you set up ipchains and will also stick it in the proper
bootfiles.
