Deny Access to port 2086 - 2087: cpsrvd failed Error

[artsec]

Hello,

I have setup an IP Table firewall policy to drop all the connection requests to WHM ports 2086 and 2087 from any source and then write another policy to give access to the administrator IP address. After this change I start to receive the following error:

cpsrvd failed @ Sun Oct 16 19:52:17 2011. A restart was attempted automagically.

Service Check Method: [tcp connect]

Failure Reason: Timeout while trying to connect to service: Died at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/TailWatch/ChkServd.pm line 426.

I disabled my deny policy for access to port 2086-2087 from any source and then error stopped. Please help me to keep my policy enable to stop accessing WHM login page from any source.

Thanks,
Alex

Good luck!
