Thats my problem..
I edited the /etc/apf/deny.hosts_rules files, then removed all lines from the file and finally restarted apf so it can restart with no deny host listed. But that is not working... the file appears empty or again with the rules removed before.
iptables -L -n shows the same banned hosts as dropped.
I already tried.. remove the deny hosts IPs from the file, then ran "iptables -F", then "service iptables save", and finally restarted apf and the deny IPs still there
How can I fix this ?
