Portsentry rules... you should probably read the docs...   See if you have anything in the docs dir (/usr/local/doc or something??? *&%$^ REDHAT MOVED THIS AND MANY OTHER THINGS IN 7.0).  You will find a doc dir with a portsentry dir.  Or try "man portsentry".   It is very configurable via it's config file (have it react to scans, delete routes to naughty hosts, lock them out with wrappers, ignore specific hosts, etc.). ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Williamson To: firewalls Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2000 3:15 PM Subject: portsentry Hi All   I have Red Hat 7 with ipchains, logcheck and portsentry.   I have installed portsentry as an rpm (portsentry-1.0-4.i386.rpm), everything seems to be preconfigured for me but I am not sure if it is working, can anyone tell me if there is any configuration that needs to be done on this for basic functionality.   I have tried port scanning my Linux box from a Micro$oft box using ws_ping propack but the portsentry does not pick this up, maybe this is not a great scanner.     Thanks Chris Williamson Jhb, South Africa
