Enable Rules Question

Tue, 2007–Sep–25

Using 2.0.6 in the config file is the proper syntax for adding in the ENABLE-RULES = r"""(sshd|*.ftpd|qpopper).*'''''. And the adding qpopper in my action string in hosts.allow or is there something else I need to do?

correction - Qpopper

The "q" should be capitalized - since the name of the rule in /etc/blockhosts.cfg is called "Qpopper-Fail".

ENABLE-RULES = r"""(sshd|*.ftpd|Qpopper).*"""

There is nothing else to be done - since the Qpopper rule is already present in the /etc/blockhosts.cfg file.
If you don't want to edit the /etc/blockhosts.cfg file (since it gets overwritten on upgrades), you can also use the command line option instead - add this whereever you are calling blockhosts.py

--enable-rules='(sshd|*.ftpd|Qpopper).*'
