interesting... did you try it ?

rtfm. the right command would be (as a suggestion; read the docu for the
options) :

Advanced TCP stealth scan detection :

	/usr/local/portsentry/portsentry -atcp

Stealth UDP scan detection :

	/usr/local/portsentry/portsentry -sudp

the path,f course, depends on your installation. if you are in the
portsentry directory, you have to add a ./ (w/o space) before the
command. 
you can add the above command lines to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

another way would be to write your own startup/shutdown script into
/etc/rc.d/init.d, add the appropriate symlinks in the runlevel
directories, and the command that mike suggested would work. if you are
not common with this stuff, consult a good linux book before messing
around with startup files other than rc.local.
