Nope, that is not exactly true. All RedHat 7.x distribution with a 2.4.x kernel offer iptables as a module. (same as ipchains) By default RH distries have ipchains activated. So in case you attempt e.g. 'iptables -L' you will encounter an error message. no worries. easiest way around is to rename /etc/sysconfig/ipchains to /etc/sysconfig/ipchains.notinuse. Then reboot the box and run 'iptables' and it will autoload the respective module. mattes
