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
