Hello, Peter N. M.

Of course that did (silly me!) and as a result I blocked myself the access to the machine. I logged in from another IP and commented out the pf.conf file entries for the bruteforce but wonder how to empty the table (so that it does not contain my ip) and enable the bruteforce defence again. Thank you very much! -- Zbigniew Szalbot
