Well, if you can the RPM file, you should uninstall the current version by running the command rpm -e yourpackagename. To get a list of all installed packages run the command rpm -qa. I do however recommend you maintain a backup of your configurations. Alternatively you could simply run the command rpm -uvh packagename. This would upgrade your current package to the latest version. In either case, I suggest you maintain backups.

If you have no background in configuring iptables, I would recommend spending a significant amount of time studying up on the topic. This is not a trivial issue, and it's critical that you have a clear understanding of what you are implementing. The very first place I'd recommend looking is unSpawn's Security References right here in this forum, esp post #3.

Good luck with it and welcome to LQ. -- J.W.
