Hi, 1) for your logging, what are you using for the log trigger in iptables? In your iptables rules, you need to add a log trigger, which can include a Prefix for the entry, making greping and analysis much easier. 2) /etc/hosts takes the format of: ipaddress hostname aliaes you do not need to deal with reverse mappings directly unless you are running a dns server. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
