    While experimenting with PortSentry, I performed an nmap scan on my box from
    another box to make sure PortSentry was working. As expected, both the
    /etc/hosts.deny file and the routing table got updated. Now I want to undo the
    changes that PortSentry did. That's an easy edit of the hosts.deny file, but
    fixing the routing table baffles me. Here's the routing table:

    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    208.24.128.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
    207.20.142.137 - 255.255.255.255 !H 0 - 0 -
    192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
    169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
    0.0.0.0 208.24.128.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

    Question: How does one flush the line that has the flag "!H"? TIA...
