[olug] bootpc scan

[puzzled at home.com]

   Thats one of their security scan boxes.

   route add -net 24.2.4.0/24 gw 127.0.0.1 should fix them right up :-)

   forgive me if I get the syntax wrong on the ipchains solution - my head
is full of ipf these days

   ipchains -A input -s 24.2.4.0/24 -j DENY
