I looked in the archives, but I didn't find anything on this. I've gotten a number of messages like the following: Dec 13 22:37:20 sten inetd[6015]: refused connection from 61-231-96-100.HINET-IP .hinet.net, service smbd (tcp)itten They seem to come from all over. In addition to Taiwan, they come from Pakistan, Japan, and my own local ISP. My interpretation is that they are scanning smbd ports. Is this correct, and why Samba? Also, I've got the following in /etc/hosts.allow: ALL : localhost 127.0.0.1 : allow ALL : 192.162.0/24 : allow ALL : ALL : deny I don't want to provide any services outside of the local network. I want the hosts inside the local network to be able to request services out on the Internet. Is there a better way of doing this?
