That wouldn't explain sshd being linked against libwrap. Did you comment: # The rules here work on a "First match wins" basis. ALL : ALL : allow > As i said i am used to BSDIĀ and the Finnish SSHD Hehe, I remember having libwrap as backup, cause the firewall's pre-in/pre-out/in/out concepts were confusing at times. Anyway, I'll give you a pf example, maybe someone with ipfw skills will pick it up and translate, or you can kldload pf and use that ;) <Assuming 7.0 or higher, so that keep state is implicit> =============== openports="{ 11, 21, 22, 23, 25, 37, 42, 43, 53, 63, 69, 70, 80, 101, 109, 110, 115, 119, 123, 143, 443, 4321, 50001 }" table <trusted> persist { 209.131.0.0/16, 66.65.0.0/16, 71.173.96.0/19, \ 71.173.128.0/17, blabla } table <spammers> persist file "/etc/pf/spammers.table" ext_if="bge0" # External interface # Rules, last match wins block in all pass in from <trusted> to any pass in on $ext_if proto {tcp, udp} from any to ($ext_if) port $openports block in on $ext_if from <spammers> to any port 25 ============== The file /etc/pf/spammers.table can then be filled with one CIDR per line, easy to maintain/fail and possible to have the file maintained by grok or alike automation scripts. The file is only read on start up, but the table can be maintained 'live', using pfctl -T commands. Hope this helps. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
