/etc/hosts.deny file not denying connections

[Vasiliy Boulytchev]

Ladies and Gents,     Maybe this is not 100 percent to you but here it is.   I'm running the new beta of portsentry.  I scan the box for open ports.  PortSentry picks up the ip and puts the host into hosts.deny file.  The hosts.allow file is empty.  I can still ssh into the box.  Do anything with it like portsentry wasn't there.....   HELP!!!!       Regards, Vasiliy Boulytchev Colorado Information Technologies Inc.
