Will that someone stand up and identify themselves please? ok. the comment there explains exactly why this rule was added. i'd imagine ilya has set it there, as he set the firewalling rules there originaly (unless they were copied from ira's original script). it looks mostly harmless - as long as you check what listens on this port on iglu. according to 'lsof -i | egrep snews', sshd indeed listens on this port, and its the same sshd process that listens on the master ssh port. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
