AFAIK ipchains runs user-mode.  Iptables runs kernel-mode and is preferred.
I understand that in the 2.6 kernel ipchains will NOT be supported, and 
it has been deprecated since the 2.4 kernel came out.

It is possible that ipchains is not even supported in FC1, but I have 
not tested that since I already use iptables.
