As a quick tag-on to this thread, has anybody TESTED their ipchains
firewalls on their RAQ4's
As I installed ipchains from RPM, and set up all my ipchains by hand
(I've used them on countless other linux systems so know them to be
correct)

However, when I test them from a remote host, I can still get a
connection, so IPCHAINS seems not to be doing anything!

Can somebody else test this, or contact me off-list to try this between
us, as if this is the case there may be MANY other people who think
ipchains is there and working, and its not!
Or it could just be my Raq4 (brand new!) that's not playing!!

Regards,

Andy
