[NTLUG:Discuss] portsentry

[David Stokes]

Portsentry works as advertised.  For those of you who just said
WTHIT (What the heck is it), Portsentry watches your TCP/IP connection
and will use IPCHAINS to block access to the system when someone does
something like a port scan.  

Be careful of testing your own system after installing portsentry as
there is anecdotal evidence of people locking themselfs out. :-0
