Is anybody using portsentry from pkgsrc?
I built and loaded from the most recent version.

It starts up fine in standard mode where it binds to a whole bunch of ports,
(-tcp, -udp), but if I try it in stealth mode where it doesn't bind and hold
the ports open (-stcp, -sudp), then it shuts immediately after startup.

Thanks,

P.S.
Is portsentry really doing anything useful anyway if all the ports are blocked by ipfilter already?
