Cerebus is right, on both counts. This is how to do what you asked for and (since this is inherently a bad thing) there is no good way. You may want to look at a few features to see if you can fix the problem more easily. Do all of the slams come from a range of IPs? Blackhole the IP range. Do they always use the same first user? set a spamtrap address or error address in the router Can you set up a router between your SIMS box and the internet to trap some or all of the attack content? Have you contacted the provider and the upstream providers of the slammers? Are you using SIMS 1.8b8, which includes the TEMPBAN feature? -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
