[cobalt-security] IPChains fgrep error?



Installed ipchains on a new machine and when I try to start it I get
this weird message about fgrep (below). Has anyone seen this before,
or even better, know what to do about it?

beginning of error message

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains start

ipchains command  failed
This is /sbin/ipchains-restore v1.1.2
If this is the latest version of ipchains-restore, and the input
was created using the latest version of ipchains-save, then I'd
really appreciate a bug report. Please send the input you used,
and all the output from this program to the author,
`ipchains@xxxxxxxxxxxx' with `BUG-REPORT' in the subject
line so I know to read the message.

Apologies for the inconvenience,
Paul ``Rusty'' Russell.
ERROR!
