Hmmmm. I'm not the llama, but I run RH 7.1 on a bunch of boxen. Maybe my $.02 is worth that much. The ipchains module seems to be loaded without any effort on my part. The ipchains user code is a separate RPM: mine is ipchains-1.3.10-7. I have ipchains rules in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains, but they were built at installation time, by lokkit-0.43-6. Finally, modules configuration is done in /etc/modules.conf. This is where I tell the kernel how to deal with my multiple NIC cards, as well as some stuff put there at installation. Mine looks like this: ===== cut here ======== alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias eth0 wd options wd -o hubnet io=0x300 irq=5 alias eth1 8139too options 8139too -o winnet ===== cut here ======== ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman (805) 650-6274 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Permanent e-mail forwarder: mailto:Kevin.O'[EMAIL PROTECTED] At school: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~kogorman/index.html Web: http://kosmanor.com/~kevin/index.html "Life is short; eat dessert first!" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
