ok, i know im gonna sound like an idiot. but the
problem is that im a fresh grad, just started work.
and my first assignment is to rewrite the linux
firewall (dont ask me why, ask the boss). and like an
idiot i just went into the kernel sources for ipchains
and started studying them. now the problem is that im
confused about how ipchains and iptables are related.
can some1 plz explain (very briefly). and if there's a
kernel guru out there could he/she tell me whether to
rewrite chains or tables?
as long as we're on the subject, could someone tell me
wht this means:
struct ip_reent reent[0];
and then the kernel goes on and indexes this like a
regular array.

a really REALLY green kernel programmer.
