How can I block some IP adresses ?
I think the hosts file is insufficient.

[Christopher Caldwell]

For services started out of inetd use inetd.sec.

You can check ipfilter:

You might also consider tcp_wrappers and filtering with routers or other intermediate network equipment.

[John Palmer]

man inetd.sec

The hosts file doesn't block anything, it's purely a lookup file for converting IP addresses to names and vice versa.

John

Hi,

You can use inetd.sec file to deny|accept conections to the system, by service and by ip.

man inetd.sec

we have installed ipfilter on one of our machines.And it works fine.
And since ipfilter is not anymore in betaversion, I think it works.

But what do you want to do??? Do you want to block some user access???
