I think development on ipchains pretty much stopped about two years ago, the functionality was replaced by iptables in the 2.4 kernel series. Not sure about Sun/Cobalt, but most of the rest of the Linux community has abandoned ipchains. That's why the documentation on the net is so old.
That, and nothing has really changed in ipchains in a long time.IPChains is enabled in the 2.2 kernel on a Raq4. All you need to do is find an RPM to load and you're set. You'll configure based on the services that you want/need to offer on each of the Raq4s that you load ipchains on.
Even thought the documentation may be old, it's most likely still valid.
