Hello, just a few days ago i setup my first FreeBSD server, so i am new to this OS. I already tried to find the information i was looking for, but to no luck. I try to add a line in /etc/hosts.allow which would allow and log all attempts using SSH (sshd). I found http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/tcpwrappers.html, which mentions twist as the only way to accomplish this. So i created a line in allow.hosts which reads as follows: sshd : ALL : twist /bin/echo "a% from h% attempted to acces d%" >> \ \var\log\ssh-connections.log : allow sshd for the service ALL for all ip-addresses allow to allow access and the text in between should make sure that the file ssh-connections is being updated. The file already exists, i used root access to create it. But it does not work as expected. Could you please point me where i did it wrong. Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, aurikus
