    Err. Good thing... but, I think we'd need to know more about your intended application to really answer that.

    Pretty much to cover the BBS server and the board. Looking for something
    like peerblock for Winblows to cover the kids who do port scans and the
    such.

    Definitely a good thing to have, with all these bots around.

    Good thing. Very configurable for all your services, though preset mainly
    for linux services like postfix, dovecot, ssh, apache, so you'll have to do some tweaking to get it to work right.

    Also, if you have a very busy system with a lot of attempts, you could find your iptables will fill up quickly which can be a memory hog. Every month or
    so I go through and look for major offenders from multiple IPs in the same subnet. I then put them in a "permaban" chain.
