[BlueOnyx:12877] Re: hosts.deny

[Eric Peabody]

Richard,

The hosts.deny file is not referenced by all services.  If you really 
want to block an address, use iptables.  This article describes how:

Of course, if you block your own address, you'll have to log in from 
another address or from the console.
