RE: IPCHAINS/IPTABLES

["Mugleston, Brad" <brad mugleston gwl com>]

I did it - I blew away IPCHAINS just to see what would happen - there were
two programs that had dependencies on IPCHAINS being there - lokkit and
firewall config.  It seems to be working OK but I ran out of time to play
with it much.

Anyone know why lokkit and firewall config would use chains - I believe
these are new programs that came out with the 7.2 version.
