Rusty doesn't work for Watchguard. He works for IBM Linux Technology Centre. (http://samba.org/~rusty/ ) Rusty seems to be moving out of the netfilter game in any case. 1B. You seem to have confused names and kernel versions. 2.4 has netfilter and iptables. 2.2.x has ipchains and 2.0.x has ipfwadm. ( http://netfilter.samba.org/documentation/index.html#FAQ )
2. (much more importantly) Don't assume that just because you needed extra modules with ipchains that you will also need one with iptables. What (exactly) is it that you think that you need and don't have?
