next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
The first two lines of my /etc/hosts.allow are as follows:
ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny
ALL : general.URZ.Uni-Magdeburg.DE 141.44.2.1 : deny
The second one is there to prevent ping requests from the specified
machine to mine without a need to set up a firewall.
Using "tcpdump -a -i tx0 host arthur.cs.uni-magdeburg.de | grep general"
I still get the following:
tcpdump: listening on tx0
12:53:38.083288 general.URZ.Uni-Magdeburg.DE > arthur.CS.Uni-Magdeburg.De: icmp: echo request
12:53:38.083316 arthur.CS.Uni-Magdeburg.De > general.URZ.Uni-Magdeburg.DE: icmp: echo reply
As I understand it that should not happen as the above deny rule
doesn't allow *any* access from this general machine. My machine is
-stable as of early June:
% uname -a
FreeBSD arthur.cs.uni-magdeburg.de 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #12: Sat Jun 10 18:10:53 CEST 2000 root@arthur.cs.uni-magdeburg.de:/usr/src/sys/compile/ARTHUR i386
