Portsentry is about setting up claymores on trip lines at all entrances to your camp that you don't want to have to post an actual guard at.
Has anyone read the documentation? There seem to be alot of uninformed assumptions being thrown about. I've made the README files from the latest version of portsentry available online at http://ipa.premierelink.com/README.(install|methods|stealth) .install has configuration instructions in it as well as basic installation and "what is it for" type information. It sounds to me like Ben has portsentry running in inverse mode. This thread is a good example of where most distros go wrong, they assume that they know which services and how you want/should set them up and do it for you on install. I've about had it with distributions. They are starting to feel quite a bit like installing windoze. You should have to go _enable_ services you want, not disable services you don't. I'm starting to agree with Justin.
