PPPoE for RH 7.3

[Burke, Thomas G.]

I am still running 6.3, because I did not want to do a full system
upgrade, then have to learn iptables.  I am running ipchains, and have
my box locked down just about as well as can be done.  For a
file/print/internet server, I saw no reason to upgrade, and still do
not.

Out of curiosity, what is preventing you from updating it?

Not have the time to do the update is a totally valid answer.  I'm just
trying to understand what are the things keeping people on really old
releases in general.  I know 7.3 was solid as a rock but its pretty out
of date.  From the number of machines that keep popping up running 7.3
there must be some good reasons for sticking with it.
