verifiying porstsentry entries in '/etc/hosts.deny'

["Erik Peter P. Abella" <beyonder@centinet.com>]

Hello All,

Psionic's Portsentry automatically adds host addresses that perform
'active system attacks' into /etc/hosts.deny and so crackers can spoof
attacks from the most popular sites and 'ban' access to them. Apart from
tracerouting each ip-address, does anybone know of an easier way to
verify all entries in /etc/hosts.deny to prevent valid sites from being
blocked.

On the other end, is there a 'forum' of sorts where decent people
'submit' /etc/hosts.deny files to block verified 'cracker-boxes' used by
script-kiddies and the like?

Thanks in advance,

Erik
