Hi all,
here a question
if i do a hosts.deny all and a host.allow imapd localhost could someone spoofing his ip to 127.0.0.1 still access the imap server?
No. first of all the packet would probably be stopped along the way as an illegal source address, second if it did get through to your machine your kernel would flag is as a martian, and thirdly if your kernel has martian detection turned off, your machine would respond to localhost. The TCP connection could never be made //Anders
