\_ and the little bit I have learned about the difference between DENY
\_ & REJECT is that REJECT will end the discussion because it sends a
\_ message back but DENY makes it look dumb and disguises the nature

I think I'd like to differ with you on that.

| charybdis scripts:1:776} telnet scylla 23
| Trying <host>
| telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
| charybdis scripts:1:777} telnet scylla 415
| Trying <host>
| telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I've got 23 blocked by REJECT, and nothing is on 415...looks the
same, remotely.  Whereas DENY will say something else, I think.  Or
connect briefly, then hose you.  I wanted it to look to certain folks
that nothing was there.
