Of course: ipchains is not installed by default on a Raq. So you need to do it
yourself. You can either try an RPM from RedHat, or compile it (better), here
is how:

Here is the main page for ipchains:
http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/

Here is the link to download the "tarball":
 ftp://ftp.rustcorp.com/ipchains/ipchains-1.3.9.tar.gz
(if you have problems downloading it, click on the link while pressing the
shift
key, or copy it to your browser)

once you have the file, ftp it up to your Raq,
then telnet into the raq, create a directory (mkdir "dirname"), cd to that
directory, and untar the tarball with

    # tar -xvzf ../ipchains-1.3.9.tar.gz
    # cd ipchains-1.3.9
    # ls

you will find readme and install files, read them and follow the instructions.
It should be something like

    # ./config
    # make
    # make install

of course you should only run make install if the prevous steps were successful



Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
