[LARTC] Re: LARTC digest, Vol 1 #157 - 11 msgs

Hello,
	I was wondering what the difference is between the commands "ip"
and "iptables", and what's better.  I know "iptables" is new to kernel
2.4.  I've asked this question before, but didnt get a response.

thanks
xerid

ok, so "ip" just controls the default flow of data, while "iptables"
controls the access authority.

I think that's right.......
thanks

There is no better. 'ip' gives you access to the TCP/IP stack's settings,
'iptables' gives you access to the iptables firewalling code. These are two
completely different things.

Doei, Arthur.
