Re: [cobalt-users] Still locked

Oooh, fun!  Sounds like your Portsentry either dropped the route to your IP
or blocked you with IPChains, in addition to adding you to hosts.deny.
Look in your portsentry.conf file, look for the KILL_ROUTE line, and do the
reverse of what it says it did.  Also check your Portsentry log file to see
what action it took to block your IP.  While you're in, add your IP to the
portsentry.ignore file.
