At best, as I can figure, this is where it all started. Although, there are
other documentations about ipchains in the Linux documentations.
Linux IPCHAINS-HOWTO
by Paul Russell Paul.Russell@rustcorp.com.au
Linux ipchains is a rewrite of the Linux IPv4 firewalling code
(which
was mainly stolen from BSD) and a rewrite of ipfwadm, which was a
rewrite of BSD's ipfw, I believe. It is required to administer the
IP
packet filters in Linux kernel versions 2.1.102 and above.
