ipmasq has nothing to do with tcp_wrappers, it is a firewalling and packet forwarding/translation deal. hosts.allow is pretty much used for things listed in /etc/inetd.conf. carlf >ALL: PARANOID carlf > carlf >Surely that should be blocking anything not on my local LAN. What's carlf >up? that line blocks ALL incoming connections(or at least tries) to daemons in /etc/inetd.conf from all hosts, no matter where they are. if what you are trying to do is ipmasq that does not connect to any services on the linux box only passes through the kernel's firewall rules. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 11:30pm up 132 days, 11:24, 3 users, load average: 2.67, 2.40, 1.94
