portsentry for Debian
----------------------

See README.install for the various detection modes.

Note: if you use dynamic IPs (e.g. dhcp), be sure to restart the daemon, after
you received your IP using "/etc/init.d/portsentry restart". The
portsentry.ignore file is then rebuild using "ifconfig -a". If you use ppp
there is no need to do so, since scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-*.d/ handle this for
you.

PCMCIA users should add "/etc/init.d/portsentry restart" to their
/etc/pcmcia/network.opt's {start,stop}_fn to make sure portsentry's
idea about local interfaces gets updated.

The blocking of hosts is disabled by default. Change BLOCK_UDP & BLOCK_TCP
in portsentry.conf to enable blocking.
