I'm not sure I can help with the ipchains setup, but I'd be careful about
being too aggressive in squelching AIM. AOL made that application robust
in a most annoying manner. If it can't go out on it's normal ports, they
rigged it to use other ports and proxy ... http proxy, etc.
That would be bad enough, but I've tripped over AIM activity while trying
to track down rogue DNS servers ... so attempting to block AIM might mean
you accidentally break your connections to your secondary DNS servers.
It's admirable that it works in a hostile environment ... but still quite
sleazy programming, IMHO.
