    Sorry - I'm quite new to Linux. I just ran the RedHat install CDs
    (which uses the 2.4.2 kernel BTW). From some HOWTOs etc I see that
    ipchains and iptables are involved, hence I used rpm to check what's
    installed.

    Any hints on what can be done to set up logging would be much
    appreciated. Should I uninstall / deactivate ipchains and start up
    iptables? (and how do you do that)

    thanks
