You would do well to consult the documentation at http://www.freebsd.org on how to get the best results when posting a question so people can better help you. Specifically, http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html If you are using a recent version of FreeBSD e.g. 3.3 and above, then edit the file /etc/hosts.allow. If its a really old version, see /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow fingerd: host.aaa.bbb.edu: deny fingerd: ALL allow Also, you can get answers to questions like the one you asked at http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml Enter in *freebsd* in the forums section, and enter in the key words you are looking for. You will find answers to almost any question there. ---Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
