At best, your ipchains would server as a template for the things you are trying to manage. Please consider investing in a book such as "Linux Firewalls" by Robert Zeigler. He has an ipchains and an iptables edition.
There are numerous tools that help you generate a iptables firewall script. www.freshmeat.net and use "firewall" as your search string. The resulting number of hits astonishes me still. My favourite is fwbuilder. I've heard of "firestarter" being bandied about by many people. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
