When I add an IP to this file, how do I activate the changes? Cheers, Steve.

Cheers, Steve.

What's the syntax? I have: ALL:w.x.y.z Where w.x.y.z is the IP I want to block? In my case w.x.y.z can still access say, on port 22. Is this correct? Cheers, Steve.

All: w.x.y.z for individual ip's. Also, you should check your /etc/hosts.allow file. It is actually more secure to use: ALL: ALL in /etc/hosts.deny and control access to services via /etc/hosts.allow For syntax please refer to: man 5 hosts_access Charles -- panic("Foooooooood fight!"); linux-2.2.16/drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
This is more secure: /hosts.deny ALL:ALL /hosts.allow sshd:w.x.y.z -- Jota Omella Developers Network http://planetas.net
