The script was adapted from one provided by Robert Ziegler in his book 
"Linux Firewalls". I've just begun realizing that this script was meant 
to run under a 2.4 kernel, which Red Hat 9 has. Fedora Core 4 is using 
the 2.6 kernel, of course. Maybe it's time for me to post the script to 
the netfilter mailing list and see what they advise.
