Most certain. A telnet to it's ident port results in an imediate 'Connection refused' error. telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I have an iptables -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset rule. Without it it matches the DROP policy and even telnet stalls for a moment. :) -Sndr. -- | Amnesia used to be my favorite word, but then I forgot it. | 1024D/08CEC94D - 34B3 3314 B146 E13C 70C8 9BDB D463 7E41 08CE C94D
