Yeah, that makes sense. I was reading different posts on HOW to allow things though, and trying to find which way would stick which was confusing. I put ŽAll: AllŽ in my allow file just so I can make it work and I found a sample allow file on the web that IŽm going to play with when I get home from work today. Since youŽre running a web server, would you mind posting a copy of yours? (/etc/hosts.allow file, that is). IŽve got kind of an Žall-in-oneŽ type of server - I donŽt really have the resources to split things up. IŽm running apache, webmail (postfix, squirrelmail, etc), samba, ftp, ssh, blah; just pretty much everything - on the same box. It would be nice to setup a firewall (other than port fowarding on my router), get msec all hardened up, and make everything all secure - but I think I have too many things going to do that. Anyway, all suggestions excepted :) Thanks -- Michael Holt Snohomish, WA (o_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (o_ (o_ //\ www.holt-tech.net (/)_ (/)_ V_/_ www.mandrake.com ============================================================< There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who donŽt...
