Note that Red Hat Linux 9 has reached end-of-life on April 30th 2004,

  http://www.redhat.com/security/archives.html

and you may need to get further security fixes for Red Hat Linux 9 from
a commercial project like

  Progeny Transition Service
  http://transition.progeny.com/

or free updates from the community project

  Fedora Legacy

TCP wrappers has nothing to do with ipchains/iptables and is still
available. Whether you may need to convert to iptables/netfilter depends
on what features of ipchains you need. The ipchains implementation in
the 2.4 Linux kernel series is just a limited compatibility layer on
top of netfilter. Some features are not available.
