I doubt it - It takes a nanosecond or two to react to the scan - I personally havent worried when I was scanning - I have now removed it. I must admit that I'm only an amateur but it seems that if you can ensure there are no services running on the port then don't bother monitoring it anyway. Also - I understood that if I needed to reallow some IP's, I just needed to delete them from the Hosts.deny file. Is this not so? Is there more work to be done? Meantime - Can anyone advise , on or offlist, how IP chains were configured. -- Lovely to see your signature again Carrie Blessings revd Leonard _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
