That's all just about right, except for one detail. Yes, it sounds like Kory is blacklisting by IP and you're right, that appoach only works if all relevant IP's remain static. However, it's also possible to make Shorewall blacklist by MAC address, which would still work if the IP's changed around (eg if Kory was using dhcpd etc). >By the way, where do you find >Shorewall 1.3.5? I've looked around, and can't seem to find it? www.shorewall.net - lots of other info there too. cheers Julian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ljchurch.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
