In addition to reading those, install portsentry, which will allow you

"man portsentry", "man portsentry.conf", and take a look at the files in
/usr/share/doc/portsentry/ as well to get more insight into it's usage.
They are in .gz files but it's easy to open them temporarily with file
roller and view them.


Thanks for this, I've never heard of it.

You're welcome. I hadn't heard of it either until I started
investigating the docs available for installation via the repositories.
I've learned more in the past two weeks reading those, than I had in the
past six months of blindly fumbling around the file structure searching
for clues in the script files and configuration files, and doing online
searches.

Nothing beats having the information right here on my own machine to
study, and it's all layed out in a logical manner too.
