Whenever I run "service ipchains status", Fedora reports "ipchains not compatible with this kernel". Is this true? Iptables works fine and Ipchains seems to start. I'm confused.
I read somewhere that you can't use both IPtables and IPchains at the same time. And I see no reason why anyone would want to.
AFAIK ipchains runs user-mode. Iptables runs kernel-mode and is preferred.
I understand that in the 2.6 kernel ipchains will NOT be supported, and it has been deprecated since the 2.4 kernel came out.
It is possible that ipchains is not even supported in FC1, but I have not tested that since I already use iptables.
