I like this idea and I will probably use it, not for banning butmaking a list
of IPs making various requests. Thanks for providing theexample. I am not
familiar with Perl so I have two questions relatingto your script if you don't
mind. Thanks in advance.
Is there anyway a request is made as to $ENV{"REMOTE_ADDR"} to besomething
other than expected form. i.e. a dotted quad IP?
system("/usr/bin/touch /usr/local/apache/nobody /restart"); # What isthis line
doing?
Thanks again to everybody who replied to my original posting.K.
