Description of Problem: IPCHAINS-HOWTO references other HOWTOs that do not exist on the 7.1 system That is, I have been accused of not reading the documantation for ipcahains. However I read the IPCHAINS-HOWTO and it refers me to additional HOWTOs, namely: This is the Linux IPCHAINS-HOWTO; see Where? for the master site, which contains the latest copy. You should read the Linux NET-3-HOWTO as well. The IP-Masquerading HOWTO, the PPP-HOWTO, the Ethernet-HOWTO and the Firewall HOWTO might make interesting reading. (Then again, so might the alt.fan.bigfoot FAQ). But, the IP-Masquerading, PPP, Firewall HOWTOs are not included with the 7.1 system. So, when I am accused of not reading the proper documentation, where am I supposed to get it if it is not included with the distribution? That is, Mike Harris told me: "The bottom line is that if you read the documentation, and the HOWTO's, you will learn for yourself how to configure this stuff rather than playing with conjecture." Now how can I read the HOWTO's if they are not there? These are the only HOWTOs on my system: [root@mcw /]# locate HOW /usr/share/doc/cdda2wav-1.9/HOWTOUSE /usr/share/doc/shadow-utils-20000826/HOWTO /usr/share/doc/LPRng-3.7.4/LPRng-HOWTO.html /usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.10/docs/textdocs/OS2-Client-HOWTO.txt /usr/share/doc/kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.24/PCMCIA-HOWTO /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-1.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-10.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-2.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-3.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-4.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-5.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-6.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-7.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-8.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO-9.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO.html /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO.sgml /usr/share/doc/ipchains-1.3.10/HOWTO.txt /usr/share/doc/rp-pppoe-2.6/HOW-TO-CONNECT /usr/share/doc/xcdroast-0.98a8/TRANSLATION.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/balsa-1.1.1/mh-mail-HOWTO /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.3/LVM-HOWTO /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.3/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt /usr/share/doc/mars-nwe-0.99pl20/doc/HOWTO.ger /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/CIDR.vs.netmask /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/CVS /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/CVS/Entries /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/CVS/Repository /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/CVS/Root /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/guest.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/HOWTO/upload.configuration.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/doxygen-1.2.6/LANGUAGE.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/licq-1.0.2/PLUGINS.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/licq-1.0.2/UTILITIES.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/licq-1.0.2/qt-gui-1.0.2/DOCKING.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/licq-1.0.2/qt-gui-1.0.2/DOCK_THEME.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/licq-1.0.2/qt-gui-1.0.2/ICONS.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/licq-1.0.2/qt-gui-1.0.2/SKINS.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/licq-1.0.2/qt-gui-1.0.2/Slackware-qt2-Licq-Turkish.HOWTO /usr/share/doc/openssl-python-0.9.6/HOWTO.smime.html /usr/share/doc/openssl-python-0.9.6/HOWTO.ssl.server.html /usr/share/doc/qt-devel-2.3.0/html/HOWTO-framebuffer.html /usr/share/enlightenment/themes/BrushedMetal- Tigert/sound/samples/SOUND_MENU_SHOW.wav /usr/share/enlightenment/themes/Ganymede/BUTTON_CONFIG_HOWTO /usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/w3/HOWTO /usr/local/src/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/doc/HOWTO /usr/local/src/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/doc/HOWTO/VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT /usr/local/src/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/doc/HOWTO/upload.configuration.HOWTO /usr/local/src/php4/php-4.0.5/ext/imap/IMAP_Win32_HOWTO.txt /usr/local/src/php4/php-4.0.5/ext/ldap/LDAP_Win32_HOWTO.txt /usr/local/src/kernels/linux/Documentation/LVM-HOWTO /usr/local/src/kernels/linux/Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt /usr/local/src/kernels/linux.hold/Documentation/LVM-HOWTO /usr/local/src/kernels/linux.hold/Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Out of the box installation of 7.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

The LDP HOWTO's are indeed included with the Red Hat Linux distribution. Bugzilla is not a technical support forum, so please stop submitting false bug reports. Use the proper technical support forums that have been recommended to you via email by both myself and Trond.
