I've looked at the UPS HOWTO and the hardware support lists for apcupsd and NUT, but I'm little uncomfortable buying a UPS without knowing others have had success using it with Linux. Is anyone willing to comment on their experiences with specific UPSes with Linux? I'm sure some of you will

Can you exclude all addresses except certain one's? This is how I deal with it. Or look at port knocking for opening an ssh connection. Ed Ted Roche [EMAIL PROTECTED] was written successfully I have a FC2 machine exposed to the Internet, supporting web, ftp, ssh and a few other functions.
