You may use the first field in /proc/uptime - that gives you uptime in seconds. IMHO, the recent module should be used for filtering purpose only not for managing black lists. The right way is ipset :) And it does not require you to recompile your kernel - you may install it as a module. And yes, to use it you should recompile iptables if it does not support it by default. -- Best regards Anatoly Muliarski -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
