First: You are asking on-list. Not only is it polite but also
considerate, you might even say a whole lot less selfish,
not to expect private replies on a public list, let alone ask for them.
Technically, it's OT so I asked that replies come off list.
What version of OS X, 10.4 ? Since it uses neither netfilter nor
iptables (but ipfw),
"it" being 10.4.x? I'm using 10.4.10 and am trying to construct a
Fail2Ban "jail" to use ipfw. I'd hoped that someone had done so
previously and could assist me with the process.
it looks like you'll need to use tcpwrapper which 10.4 does not by
default. Perhaps there's good reason for it - others can speak to
that better than I.
Actually, OS X does use hosts.deny and hosts.allow, so it would
appear that tcpwrappers are functional.
