guys, I am testing out PortSentry 1.0 on FreeBSD 4.x and I have configured it to log the offending hosts to "hosts.deny" which works. Everything works fine except that in "hosts.allow", it says that: # NOTE: The hosts.deny file is deprecated. # Place both 'allow' and 'deny' rules in the hosts.allow file. So basically the hosts.deny file is not used at all..?! How can I make Tcp wrappers work with Portsentry in this case? Must I periodically cut and paste the logged entries from "hosts.deny" into "hosts.allow" to block the offending hosts via TCP wrappers? Please advice. Thanks -CTW __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
