Hi! I have a lot of login attempts from various networks and IP addresses on my FBSD 4.10 server. I have read the man pages for hosts.deny but do not understand how to add networks and IP addresses to it. Let's say I want to block the network address 192.168.100.0 and/or the IP address 192.168.135.77. What I understand is when using hosts.deny, I stopping them totally from using any networking services, right? Would it be better to let the built-in firewall (/etc/rc.firewall) to stopping them? I have the firewall activated and have changed the port for example SSH to a higher one. Could someone please provide me with some examples on either using hosts.deny or the default firewall? A big thanks in advance, Best Regards Pelle
