[olug] mandrake firewall

[mesc]

I just overwrote my /etc/rc.d.rc.firewall file with the rc.firewall I've
used for all  my previous mandrake versions (I'm running mandrake 8.0
right now)but now I get ......ipchains: Protocol not available..and 
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies: No such file
or directory and /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag: No such file or directory...I
looked in /proc/sys/net/ipv4 and like it says there are no signs of
those 2 files.Did a newer and differently named one take their
places?I've looked over my rules and I can't see where I might get
ipchain:Protocol not available.Here's an example of 2 of my rules,does
anyone see anything wrong besides my newbie like rules? :).....
ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 53 -d 0/0 1024: -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -p udp -s 0/0 53 -d 0/0 1024: -j ACCEPT..with all
these errors do you think my firewalls even up?That concerns me.


			Thank you,Gary Martin
