Here is the rule. My ruleset is standard Dachstein with only a couple of additions: 42 2795 124K DENY all ----l- 0xFF 0x00 eth0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 n/a Searching the Internet turns up a number of scripts that scan port 53 for Bind. Let me know what you think. Sean _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
