Thank you for all the help. To make it simple, I just backed up my data and
reinstalled Red Hat. This was easy to do since Linux has become so easy and
quick to install.
I have replaced 5 of my Windows NT servers with 3 Red Hat Linux servers,
(Same boxes with Linux installed). I now have severs that are more reliable
and I don't have to reboot them every 3 weeks. I am still new to Linux.
Most of what I have learned was from the installfests and the club meetings
and this list.
Thanks

i doubt you need to recompile the kernel. if you are using
a
non-enterprise/server edition of RH, ipchains is compiled as
a kernel
module. i really can't remember the last time i needed to
re-compile
a RH kernel to get a non-esoteric piece of functionality
working.
three things come to mind:
1) read the ipchains HOWTO.
2) edit /etc/sysconfig/ipchains to your liking. this will
be time-consuming,
so i suggest you look hard for sample firewall
configurations to get you
jump-started.
3) "chkconfig --add ipchains" will add ipchains to the
start-up sequence.
w/o rebooting, you can use "service ipchains start" to
start it, and it
will take care of loading the kernel module and starting
ipchains w/the
rules you configured.
shawn.
