Portsentry questionI don't have all of my ports blocked. To much of a headache running an FTP site with anonymous and user access from the net. All that passive/active crap. I could never get it to work correctly. If you have rules for all of this (FTP and the block all) please pass them on I'd like to try them out. I currently just wrap my services that are running and let port senty monitor my open ports.

Subject: [lug-nuts] Portsentry question
I'm a little unclear one the use/need of Portsentry.
In my case, I have most if not all the ports blocked to my home network. Generally if you're not running internet services this should be a standard IP Chains setup, no?
Anyway, if you have all your ports blocked via IP Chains what's the benefit of having Portsentry block them again?
