portsentry for Debian ---------------------- See README.install for the various detection modes. Note: if you use dynamic IPs (e.g. dhcp), be sure to restart the daemon, after you received your IP using "/etc/init.d/portsentry restart". The portsentry.ignore file is then rebuild using "ifconfig -a". If you use ppp there is no need to do so, since scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-*.d/ handle this for you. PCMCIA users should add "/etc/init.d/portsentry restart" to their /etc/pcmcia/network.opt's {start,stop}_fn to make sure portsentry's idea about local interfaces gets updated. The blocking of hosts is disabled by default. Change BLOCK_UDP & BLOCK_TCP in portsentry.conf to enable blocking. Guido Guenther , Sun, 1 Jul 2001 04:31:56 +0200
