They each (iptables/ipchains) have there own startup scripts too. You should be able to just insert the module and use ipchains without a problem. IIRC it was configurable in the installation. Mine actually used ipchains by default. 2.4 did rewrite it all but ipchains is still available as a module. I think the 2.0 kernel filter is also available as a module. IPFilter? Or you could just upgrade to iptables and join the truly elite. ;-) sim
