HI All,

We remember, new SysAdmins, worked with legacy technology.

Is complicat Professional LPIC-X, not know trubleshooting hosts.allow,
host.deny, etc. because are removed topic used on old release.

Mi vision, LPIC not Certification to technology X ou OS Release, ex: RHCSA
RHEL6, not valid RHCSA RHEL7.

IPTABLES, is replaced with firewalld by default (RHEL7 and new SLES 15 )

But iptables, is used crucial, in LPIC-3-304, Cluster active/active, need
iptables to create CLUSTER_IP, because "bucket request), keepalived, etc.

iptables, need keep on LPI Program.
