ipchains works perfectly with Red Hat Linux. Your problem is completely to do with properly configuring your system. This is not a bug. Hint: You can use either ipchains *or* iptables. Not both. For detailed help with configuring ipchains or iptables, please consult the Red Hat Linux official documentation, or one of the Red Hat mailing lists.
