Guys, I could see an odd pattern in my network usage, (I run the system monitor gnome panel applet,) and my disk was making odd repetitive access noises. I then checked my log files and lo and behold, I was being port scanned by someone from 200.21.18.136. What's the mechanism by which a rule gets added to my firewall or hosts.deny file when I get port scanned? Also, I noticed that a file /var/log/btmp got rather large. What tool do I use to examine the content of /var/log/btmp? Thanks in advance. Cheers. Steve. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
