Why would one choose to install a phoenix firewall, when ipchains is
already present? Seems like using a mallet to kill a fly, why a fly
swatter is more than adequate.
If it can't be blocked via hosts.allow/hosts.deny, then ipchains can get
the job. What ever is most convenient, or is most familiar.
Both are free, and already installed.
