The hosts.deny file is not referenced by all services. If you
really want to block an address, use iptables. This article
describes how: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-iptables-drop/">http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-iptables-drop/</a><br>
<br>
Of course, if you block your own address, you'll have to log in
from another address or from the console. <br>
