Hello Jerome,

   after I compiled a kernel with "Netfilter legacy tables support" enabled,
firehol works with iptables-legacy, iptables-legacy-restore and
iptables-legacy-save.

   But it is a ticking time-bomb. Should the kernel people one day decide
to drop "Netfilter legacy tables support" (like the Debian people decided
to drop i386 support), firehol won't start any longer, because iptables-legacy
won't find the module ip_tables.ko.

   I think it would be more flexible if the firehol installation script
detects the actual ip filtering method used (legacy or nf) and selects the
proper iptables commands (with or without "legacy") based on its finds.

   If you don't have further concerns, you may consider the "bug" solved.

   Thank you very much for your support and patience.

   Yours sincerely,

      Eddi ._._.
