Redhat ships with an ipchains start/stop script at
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains.  To keep this default Redhat script from
running, do the following as root:

chkconfig --level 0123456 ipchains off

It would be nice if Redhat could draw a map of all these security features
so a poor person like me can find his way through the maze of firewalls
they install.  Quite a change since just a few years ago, *every* service
was turned on by default: gopher, archie, finger, talk, ftp, samba, ...
