Yes, both ipchain and ipmasq about roughly the same things but I

Hi
Actually, you can use ipmasq and ipchain in 2.4 kernel if you
compile the corresponding module. On the other hand you can use iptable for
2.4 kernel. (it is the recommended way since it is native to 2.4 kernel.

Hello,
setting LC_CTYPE does not help in this case.
