[olug] firewall

[David Walker]

I use ipchains.  The -l option sends those attempts to your syslog
        /sbin/ipchains -A input -s 192.168.0.0/16 -l -j DENY

I assume iptables is superior.  I've heard all good and no bad so it must be
at least OK.
I believe there is a simple conversion tool to convert ipchains rules to
iptables rules.

does anyone use ipchains or iptables as a firewall?  If you do I have some
quick questions.
How do you log addresses of people who attempt connections.
Is iptables easy to go to from ipchains?  Is iptables superior to ipchains?

Thanks
