Firewall Wizards: IPChains vs. IPTables

["Marc DVer" <mdver () whiteeagletox com>]

Someone suggested that I use IPTables instead of IPchains, as IPTables is
more robust.  Is IPTables more secure for a given set of rules?

The rules for IPChains I use can be found at
http://members.cavtel.net/mdver/start_firewall .  This is easier than trying
to explain what I am trying to accomplish.

I am using RedHat 7.1 for a gateway/firewall.

I am also looking for an online IPTables for Dummies reference, in case
IPTables is indeed superior to IPChains.

Sincerely,
Marc DVer
