[tlug] wither ipchains?

["Brett Robson" <brett@example.com>]

Hi all,

Anyone know the latest on ipchains? The official website says that iptables
should be used in preference but nothing specifically on compatiblity with
kernels.

ipchains seems fine with RH7.1 (kernel 2.4.9) but complains bitterly with
RH7.3 (kernel 2.4.18)

ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel

iptables doesn't look too hard but my ipchain script is 200 lines long and
the last thing I want to do is work on it again.
