Joergen,
Install the ipchains rpm package and then read the documentation for
it. There's also an ipchains HOWTO.
It doesn't seem to be too obvious to some how to configure ipchains to
start up correctly at boot time, so here are some pointers.
I'm running Mandrake 7.1 and I've got ipchains-1.3.9-6mdk installed.
The init script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains) included in that package
expects you to store your ipchains configuration in
/etc/sysconfig/ipchains. To do this, use /sbin/ipchains to build a
rule list and then use:
# ipchains-save > /etc/sysconfig/ipchains
to write it out to a file.
Make sure that you've configured ipchains to start up for the right
run levels (same as "network") using chkconfig. The init script
provided is already configured to start ipchains at the proper time,
which is *before* enabling your network interfaces.
HTH,
