I am using RH 6.0 on my home network.  I upgraded from RH 5.2 which
used ipfwadm.  RH 6 uses ipchains.  However ipfwadm-wrapper can be
used to allow ipfwadm commands to run in an ipchains environment.

To enable masquerading I put the following in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

    /sbin/depmod -a
    /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp

    /sbin/ipfwadm-wrapper -F -p deny
    /sbin/ipfwadm-wrapper -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
