Portsentry can not do stealth mode in FreeBSD. I believe the writer is working on it, but currently stealth is not supported. Portsentry is still a great program to run. I use it on 2 BSD boxes and 1 Linux box (on which stealth does work). Have fun.

Kanter Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 5:34 AM To: FreeBSD questions Subject: Portsentry problem I installed portsentry but cannot get the stealth modes to work. Perhaps I've configured something wrong. When I start portsentry in tcp stealth mode, this is what my syslog registers: adminalert: Psionic PortSentry 1.0 is starting. securityalert: Psionic PortSentry is shutting down adminalert: Psionic PortSentry is shutting down Can portsentry not connect to an initial socket in order to run in stealth mode? I've got inetd turned off, maybe that's the reason? Or, is it that my hosts.deny is ALL : ALL? -- David Kanter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
