What are the (dis)advantages in using TrinityOS' 'firewall' script
versus RedHat's 'ipchains' one? While installing a new RedHat 6.2
server, I loaded TrinityOS' 'rc.firewall' script, and setup all the
rules. Then I went to install the 'firewall' script in /etc/rc.d/init.d
and noticed there is an 'ipchains' script already which could also be
used. So, I skimmed over it and noticed you can tell it to save your
current (active) rules, so I did.
It created /etc/sysconfig/ipchains which is the configuration file
that the 'ipchains' script will run. This is essentially the same thing
that TrinityOS originally set. So, my question now is, what's the
difference (between /rc.d/etc/init.d/ipchains and TrinityOS' version of
/etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall) and/or are there any (dis)advantages to using
one or the other?
