I have solved this by using saned and sharing for the localhost. Read the saned manual - in a few steps - you should add a line in inetd.conf and modify saned.conf and net.conf. Please note that there are some issues with saned in ipv6 enabled machines, you will figure it out. -- Martin Spasov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
