Running FreeBSD 4.2-Release. I've noticed in our /var/log/messages file a number of repeated attempts at anonymous FTP (like 100 in very very rapid succession). I email abuse@domain with the info and hope they culprit gets hit over the wrist with a ruler. Is there a way to block access by that person? For instance... pD4B88246.dip.t-dialin.net tried to Anon FTP in a hundred times. Is there a something I can do on that FreeBSD machine to say completely ignore any further requests from pD4B88246.dip.t-dialin.net? -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
