Corrections to path issues relating to use of script with Red Hat Linux and from ip-up scripts, a test for ipchains kernel support, and a few minor bugfixes with interface detection routines. "ipchains-firewall is an easily-configurable shell script to establish masquerading and firewalling rules using ipchains. The script self-configures out of the box for IP addresses, netmasks, and interfaces. All that is needed is a commandline specification of external and internal interface names. It automatically determines type of firewall to set up (standalone, routing, or masquerading) based on interface IP addresses. The distribution also includes a copy of midentd, to enable identd over the masqueraded network. "
