Host Issues

We're back. I'll put a trip report (with pictures) up a little later. For now, I want to put fix up a few things involving the /etc/host* files:

• First, don't allow other computers to access any service we may provide. Not that we're providing any. Edit /etc/hosts.deny so that we get:

  $ cat /etc/hosts.deny
  ALL: ALL
  

• Second, make undesirable web sites vanish (note that I define undesirable web sites as places that serve annoying ads, your mileage may vary). To do this, we use a modified version of Mike Skallas' Ad Blocking Hosts file.
