as part of a tutorial i'm writing on iptables, here's what i've listed -- feedback is appreciated. to switch from ipchains to iptables: # chkconfig --level 0123456 ipchains off (turn off auto start) # service ipchains stop (stop ipchains) # rmmod ipchains (unload the module) # rpm -e ipchains (if you're SURE :-) # insmod ip_tables (insmod or modprobe?) # chkconfig iptables on (auto start) # service iptables start (fire it up) # iptables -L (verify with listing) comments? rday
