There is a nice little package called abacus-sentry that runs as a daemon and watches for this type of stuff. Once it detects an "attack" it can either auto drop route to the offender and /or add a ipfwadm firewall rule. It works pretty good here and is very configurable as to what actions it takes and what port ranges you want to watch for. More information and its capabilities are available at http://www.psionic.com. ****************************************************************************** Bill West Houston TX email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ****************************************************************************** Linux = The choice of a GNU generation ****************************************************************************** There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit.
