First thoughts is you are under attack and hosts.allow is doing it's job of denying access. Add the ip address from the warning message to your firewall to stop those attack packets from entering your system. Good chance attack packets are spoofed. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Marwan Sultan Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 6:40 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: sshd/mysql errors.
