[plug] ipchains vs iptables

[David Broadway]

Good question! I've been playing with ipchains atm. the damn think is after
a reboot I gotta reload the ipchains.o file, and I think if I reconnect the
internet connection I think I gotta reload ipchains settings again.

Is there a way to install ipchains.o from the boot up, or is that in a
re-compile of the kernal?

Hi all,
Im wondering if I should upgrade all of our clients firewalls from ipchains
to iptables?
Is this a good idea?  Or should I just stick with ipchains.
All the systems are running a 2.4.x kernel.
Thanks.
