Hi,

to get started with ipchains i recommend you this very good book:

Robert Ziegler: Linux Firewalls (New Riders)

I dont agree, that ipchains is completely outdated (yet). State machines, as
come with iptables, _may_ increase your security. But bugs here let your
network wide open - we've already seen ways to this ;-)
