bummer, I just restarted pmfirewall, and my ssh connection dropped out, as did every service on the system,, and I can't ping it anymore,, so I am guessing it has crashed the system, guess its time to uninstall and reinstall it... I might keep a copy of all my rules so I can put them back and save myself all that typing... Have you ever used Portsentry? how do you restart that? (does it start from boot? if not, do I have to add somethign to rc.d to get it up and running? and also, if I use a port scanner to test it,, it will ban my IP won't it? if so how can I reset it so that the IP is allowed again?) many thanks... -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Stout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 19 February 2001 9:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] RE: PMfirewall... Well, the easiest way is to just re-run the setup. I've had to do that a couple of times myself. As for restarting, assuming you let the instal script put the files in /usr/local/pmfirewall, just do: /usr/local/pmfirewall/pmfirewall restart I've placed a symlink in my home directory to the program, just to shorten the command. :) That should take care of things. If it doesn't, let me know.
