Only 2 empty files - portsentry.blocked.tcp and portsentry.blocked.udp. 
I've got both BLOCK_UDP and BLOCK_TCP set to zero , because I only want 
warnings to start with, and I've set KILL_ROUTE="/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 
-s $TARGET$ -j DROP" . I was hoping that if I got GRC's 'ShieldsUp' to 
scan my machine on the internal interface, that I would get a log file 
somewhere with warning entries.

Thanks for the reply, Eric.
