No. Not the RBL. tcp-wrappers has a patch which when applied permits you to reference a FILE NAME in place of an machine address/name. Therefore in a hosts.deny you can enter (for example) pop : /etc/hosts.fylname : DENY and the file "/etc/hosts.fylname" will be treated as a continuous list of IP's. This makes adding an IP to the wrappers rejection list _very_ easy. FreeBSD 3.3 still did not have this wrappers patch applied, and therefore I could not utilize this feature of wrappers. -- Jim Pazarena mailto:paz@ccstores.com http://www.qcislands.net/paz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
