If I understand the setup right, you are referring here to hosts.allow and hosts.deny on the LEAF router. But the actual Web server runs on a different host, on its port 80, and gets (or is supposed to get, once everythign works) traffic forwarded from port 8080 on the LEAF router's external interface. If I have all of that right, then the entries you describe will have no effect on this problem. Only the port-forwarding code in the kernel is involved on the LEAF router, and that makes no use fo these files, which are used by inetd (and a few other server processes). If I have any of my assumptions wrong, then please clarify appropriately. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
