Its another place to look. > here's something that will knot your shorts. some clients have a unique way of announcing themselves in such a way that PortSentry sees the commnuication as a port scan and makes an entry in the /etc/hosts.deny file AND then also creates a rule in the iptables ruleset to block any further attempts at connections from the IP address. Netscape 6.x is one of these culprits. Specifically, Netscape Messenger 6.x. I stumbled upon this miserey some time back and have since been able to reproduce this behavior repeatedly. Drove me crazy for a while till I realized what was going on. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
