RH 7.x has a tool called Lokkit to control the firewall. > give a brief explanation abt this ipchains firewall. Thanks in advance Briefly, ipchains is a packet filter built into the kernel. this has three main chains: input output forward Additionally, users can define their own chains. Packets coming into the network interface of your system are directed to the input chain. There you have a set of rules which will either allow the packet to go through, or stop it. After the input chain is crossed, it will go to either the forward or output chain, where a different ruleset can be applied. for further details, please read the ipchains HOWTO and man ipchains.
