Thanks as always guys. I'll try the update-rc.d tool to add the symbolic links.
I'd forgotten about denyhosts, I'll do that too! I'll also take a look at adding the related rule to the firewall. Tony, using the script as is, I can still ping the server. I guess the rules don't block the ICMP packets as is? I'm trying to get used to using iptables rather than a management tool because I'm a glutton for punishment lol! Thanks again! Chris
