ipchains is an admin tool that you can install from the 8.0
disks if you look on them:
rpm -q ipchains - to see if it's installed on your system
rpm -ivh ipchainsxx - to install it from the CD
you need to enable ipchains compatibility in the kernel by
loading the ipchains module as well:
lsmod - to see if the kernel module has already been loaded
insmod ipchains - this command will hopefully load the
ipchains module into your 8.0 kernel...or...you can simply
make a new kernel with the ipchains compatibility built in!
good luck and i hope this helps.
