host.deny and host.allow not found

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 lamp server amd64


The files host.deny and host.allow can't be found.

$ sudo find / -name hosts.deny
$ sudo find / -name hosts.allow
both w/o printout

$ sudo iptables -L

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

How to create them? TIA

Edit:

I found following guide;
HOWTO: Installing DenyHosts - Ubuntu Forums

I'll create host.deny and host.allow according to its steps.

Further suggestion/advice would be appreciated.
