i have some troubles with someone who keeps posting porno links on my website
I warned him because of it but since he only seems to like the attention i wanted to give him an IP ban. Anyone knows how i can place an IP ban with telnet on my unix server?
If you are using inetd to launch your tcpd processes, you can use the /etc/hosts.deny file.
The question is though, if the person shouldn't be able to log in, why not disable the account? Most likely he either has now or could easily get a dial-up account where the IP changes. That won't be easy to keep up with...
We don't have a system that allows users to register although we are working on it. There is no /etc/hosts.deny dir on our server, any other suggestions?
I found out that he always has the same ip adress so he probably uses cable or something like that.
