I would like to use portsentry and it adds ips to this file but I can still connect from one of those addresses... someone suggested adding "-wW" to my /etc/rc.conf file and rebooting then running tcpdchk and tcpdmatch to make sure it is working.. is this correct and is there a more detailed explanation out there? where would I add this "-wW" line in rc.conf? just stick it in there anywhere? ANy help is greatly appreciated... cheers raymond hicks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
