Hi Jay,

 JH> I use iptables to block certain county IP blocks from connecting in the

As a quick measure, I just disabled the ssh server part.  Sure, it won't
prevent them from using the telnet port ;/  

That said, I think using your iptables way might be the best way.  That way I
can ssh and/or telnet into my system and not worry about 'them'.

Thanks!

Edmund
