Not sure if you got an answer, the deja-vu on the list lately has been
bad, but

 You don't really have to have either of those , tho they are
nice, portsentry can use route reject which is usually sufficient to
prevent normal access at least, (reject definitly works on the raq2 ,
dunno about the qube, there is a way to 'route to nowhere' if you have no
better alternative)

you can use ipfwadm also, just uncoment the line in the config file and
check the path...edit as necessary ...(it just runs a command, you can
make it do anything you want)

(ps, i'd recomment the version that does not log, or you will get floods
of messages in the logs after dropping if you keep getting hit)
