Hi all,

        I have a strange behavior on my Mandrake 8.0 box: Some process keeps adding IP 
addresses from the local network to my hosts.deny file by themselves. After deleting 
the content of the hosts.deny file, some address keeps coming back. My quick fix was 
to add all these addresses to the hosts.allow file. Since hosts.allow is parsed before 
hosts.deny, this is working great but I'm still wondering what's going on. I checked 
for any cron script files, but none of them seems to perform this kind of behavior.

So basically my question is: who is adding new entries in my hosts.deny file and what 
can I do to make it stop?

Thierry
