Am I looking in the right file for DENY’s? Is it /var/log/messages? If so,
I may have a problem as I haven’t seen any deny’s for a couple of weeks
now – since upgrading to PMFirewall 1.1.4.
I have a w98 box on my private network. I have Black Ice Defender installed
on the 98 box, and I never see attacks or probes. Prior to setting up
Mandrake 7.0 with PMFirewall 1.1.3 back in January, I would catch 3-5 probes
and/or attacks a day with BID. That was during the week. On weekends, I
had as many as 7-8 attacks stopped and logged by BID. Then, after
installing PMF 1.1.3, all of the attacks were stopped at the Linux box. I
could see DENYs in /var/log/messages. Now, neither Linux w/PMF 1.1.4 nor
BID report any probes or attacks.
Have I done something wrong? I firmly the sript kiddies haven’t stopped
their nonsense.
