Really iptables is native for kernel 2.4, ipchains is perfect under kernel 2.2 I have tried running my ipchains rules under redhat 7.1 and found that it would not run. So I upgraded my firewall rules to iptable based.
If you are a little lazy :) have a look at guarddog it requres KDE and from what I have been told it is very easy to create icq, irc, ftp passive mode, and netmeeting access no problems. >I'm looking to share my dialup Internet connection on a soon to be >Redhat 7.3 machine, with two clients behind it on a private IP range. > >It has been about 3 years since I last did this, and I remember at the >time there was fiddling that was required to get things like IRC and >ICQ to work, specifically file transfers. > >Iptables is standard with RH 7.3, and in the latest kernels, so this >seemed the logical way to go.
