Hello, Freebsd does not use /etc/hosts.deny but rather inserts all wrapper rules into /etc/hosts.allow.
Also the formatting is ALL: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: deny. I am wondering just what part of the code will I have to hack up to insert this. And if this has been noticed or considered already ?? Previously I have taken to doing a include statement in /etc/hosts.allow to a file like /etc/hosts.evil with the temporary block rules in there. Rules apply from top to bottom and the first rule "sticks" and later rules do not apply. So I usually place this include statement before any rules for sshd access lockdown for example. -- Kindest Regards, Francesca Smith "No Problems Only Solutions" Lady Linux Internet Services Baltimore, Maryland 21217
