I have such entries in my /var/log/messages but for port 80 and host
hiyapal.bbc.com. I am running a http server [Apache 1.3.1] just to serve
internal users - not to the world. How can I disallow all outside users to
get into my machine on port 80?
I have specified host-only allow in hosts.allow and hosts.deny:
#hosts.allow
ALL: LOCAL
#hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
ALL: .bbc.com
ALL: 198.175.187.10
But I believe that these files have nothing to do with port 80, do they?
