A question on firewall

satimis · 08-25-2005, 10:20 AM

Hi folks,

BLFS 6.1

I'm running ADSL broadband. The firewall-standalone script uses ipchains. However the recommended firewall according to the book is iptables. What shall I do??? Download ipchains to satisfy firewall-standalone script OR change the script to iptables. Please advise. TIA

B.R.

IPchains.........whoooo, that's going way back........
if you configure it properly, it will work just fine.........heck, try both (chains and tables) and see which you prefer.........

Agree. Any folk on the forum has done using Find/Rplace commands to replace "ipchains" with "iptables" on the script before? OR I have to do if from the beginning. TIA
