Here is a repost of it:

IPChains Install:
============
#wget 
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/6.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ipchains-1.3.9-5.i386.rpm
# rpm -hUv ipchains-1.3.9-5.i386.rpm

IPChains is now installed. The startup script is in /etc/rc.d/init.d
as ipchains or 
# service ipchains start

Don't do this until you've tested your script a few times to see how
it's working and you have the helper scripts installed.

Get the helper scripts:
# wget
http://netfilter.filewatcher.org/ipchains/ipchains-scripts-1.1.2.tar.gz
# gunzip ipchains-scripts.tar.gz
# tar -xvf ipchains-scripts.tar
# make clean (my raq grumbled at me with this)
# make (some notes, more grumbling)
# make install

Still working on this, will post a more detailed IPChains how-to once
I get done.
