Re: [Astlinux-users] Banned Hosts

Micheal Keuter,

Thank you. Yes, it is the entry in user.conf that I placed. I remember that
now. I checked, and it is still present. Does the status screen for banned
hosts list all the banned hosts in the log or just a few of them? Just
curious. Thank you for the info on permanently blocking IP addresses.
