Firewall without using iptables?

[Gilles Fourchet]

With Linux, there are only 2 solutions (in the kernel): iptables and 
ipchains.  Although ipchains was the solution for the 2.2.x kernel, it 
is still usable with a kernel 2.4.x.

Now, if you do not have neither iptables nor ipchains compiled in your 
kernel, you have two solutions: either recompiled your kernel to include 
this functionality or find a firewall solution that does not rely on the 
kernel.

Personally, I would suggest to recompile the kernel as it is easy and 
you will get a lot of support.
