Hi,

I have a local network and lately I've been running a webcam program on a 
windows box. My firewall/nat box and 2 others are fBSD boxes. The program 
(Camarades) works as a server on a specific port, so on my firewall (using 
ipf) I allow access to that port and forward it to the box running the cam. 

Works fine, but once in a while someone's nice enough to harress me, so I've 
made a small script so that I can easily add such IP#s to my ipf.rules and 
lock them out, restart ipf and they can't connect anymore. It works but I 'm 
wondering if there are any generic provisions in fBSD to do this. Since its 
not a standard service I figured I couldn't use hosts.allow. Any thoughts?


Danny
