ipchains issue (Re: Webmin via Apache)

Assuming that this is a single NIC on a server on the internal lan and
you have no idea what you want a firewall to be doing on this computer
anyway...why don't you just turn it off?

service ipchains off

chkconfig --levels 2345 ipchains off

Otherwise, 
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -i $EXTIF -p tcp -s $UNIVERSE -d
$EXTIP 10000

replace port & variables as necessary but I have to tell you that what
you have in place for ipchains is pretty minimal and you shouldn't feel
as though anything is secure on that system because you have an ipchains
firewall running on it.
