> well that's a good point but does it interfere with any of the usual redhat/fedora
tools.... Another point I should is that my particular box is behind a
NAT so it isn't for me, but in a week i will be doing a system with just
strictly linux acting as the firewall, I have never used iptables except
for the default redhat/fedora setup..
