scoopy Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 http://www.netfilter.org/ from rpmdrake: Name: iptablesVersion: 1.2.7a-2mdk Size: 338 KB Source: Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1) Currently installed version: (none) Summary: Tools for managing Linux kernel packet filtering capabilities Description: iptables controls the Linux kernel network packet filtering code. It allows you to set up firewalls and IP masquerading, etc. Install iptables if you need to set up firewalling for your network. Install this only if you are using the 2.4 kernels!!
