How do I use iptables / kernel 2.4.x and RCF?
RCF doesn’t support iptables yet. Not to worry, ipchains will be supported for quite some time in the 2.4 kernels. (Refer to netfilter.filewatcher.org/unreliable-guides/packet-filtering-HOWTO/index.html) RCF will be ported to iptables eventually, but since defining a firewall with iptables is a far more complex matter than with ipchains, don’t expect a reliable version (of any firewall for that matter) to come out soon. Besides, you wouldn’t see much difference either… To use RCF with a 2.4 kernel you need to compile support for ipchains. Refer to the kernel configuration for the details.
