Correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but the tcp_wrappers /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are for _incoming_ daemon connections that are compiled against tcp_wrappers. Want to block access to some sites? Use Squid. It's included on the Red Hat v8 cdroms. Edit the /etc/squid/squid.conf file and you can block access like this: acl blockedsites dstdomain .microsoft.com acl blockedsites dstdomain .hotmail.com http_access deny blockedsites These lines have to be in certain sections on the configuration file, order does matter. -- Caleb Groom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
