Thanks Rick, I disabled ipchains using chkconfig. Iptables is working fine.

If you plan to use one or the other exclusively, it doesn't hurt to uninstall the other via rpm -e (note this only uninstalls the command-line tools and not the kernel modules). They both attempt to launch at startup by default. If /etc/sysconfig/ipchains exists, /etc/init.d/ipchains will start. If /etc/sysconfig/iptables exists, /etc/init.d/iptables will start. If both exist, I believe ipchains would take precidence. I wouldn't want to try that situation, however. You can easily use chkconfig to disable one or the other ~ as well. Basically you're being given a choice. Use whichever your comfortable with, though understand that IPTABLES is much more powerful. Hope this (vaguely) answers the question. - -Rick - -- Rick Johnson, RHCE - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux/WAN Administrator - Medata, Inc.
