Where did you see documentation about using iptables instead of ipchains? the only place I can see now is http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/gotchas/7.1/gotchas-71.html this could be made a little clear that it's not just if you have any ipchains setup but if it's loaded at all then iptables won't work. To be honest I can't remmber where I saw it, it would have been the docs available online though, went through basicly every doc I could find on installing iptables. changing the online help info on the setting firewall options on the installer to inform us that it loads ipchains and re-wording the gotchas would be enough I think. but I ideally not having ipchains in the startup if no firewalling is choosen would be better. initscript bug? Did anyone ever figure out how to install 7.1 and NOT get ipchains to install so we can use iptables? I went to the work-arounds at http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/gotchas/7.1/gotchas-71.html and didn't see any solutions there. ashmere - This problem was fixed in Red Hat Linux 7.2, however somehow the bug report never got updated. The initscript now tests for this, and should not load the ipchains module unless a firewall has been configured. |
