Hi,

When RH7.3 boots, I know that ipchains gets called and it reads the
ipchains config file in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains, but the DNS settings
are not in this file and are loaded seperately. Can anyone tell me
what that other file is that contains the DNS settings for ipchains.

Tx in advance

ipchains is not very much concerned with DNS, or vice versa. The
only ways these two get in each other's way is if ipchains rules
use names instead of IP addresses, or if there is no rule allowing
DNS traffic through the firewall. Please post again with a further
description of what is actually wrong, and perhaps we will be able
to point you in the right direction.

I think there is something in one of the ipup scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts which modifies ipchains to
permit the DNS traffic.

grep the files in that directory and also in the subdirectories of
/etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d for the word ipchains.
