csf.rblconf and /usr/local/csf/lib

Can't completely understand the correlation between file: /usr/local/csf/lib/csf.rbls and file: /etc/csf/csf.rblconf I see that I can active some blocklists in csf.blocklists, including some that are blackholes, so what the story with file: /usr/local/csf/lib/csf.rbls and file: /etc/csf/csf.rblconf and how is csf.rblconf even used - a dearth of instructions on *how* to use it. Or turn it on. Thanks.

  I think this would be a question for ConfigServer Community Forum - Index page

  Never get responses from posts at that forum. Thought I'd try here as in the past there has been a very positive response rate on the cpanel forum regarding configserver.

  The docs are your best friend. :) Seach that page for: csf Command Line Options That's probably not the answer you were looking for, but I'm sure that's why a lot of posts go unanswered over there. The docs are clear and explain everything you ever want to to know about CSF and how to use it. HTH!

  So reading the file csf.rblconf state: # This file configures optional entries for the IP checking against RBLs within csf # There are 4 options available to enable/disable RBLs and IPs: # To disable inbuilt RBLs or to enable other RBLs, e.g.: # enablerbl:my.dnsrbl.net # disablerbl:bl.spamcop.net This doesn't really answer anything. For example, nowhere in any of the documentation for csf do they list the purpose of the file: /usr/local/csf/lib/csf.rbls Yet, there it is, floating around in that directly - luckily I found that file not from any information contained in csf documentation but from a poster who also had questions about the use of this file and how it connects or doesn't connect up with csf.rblconf. Am I to gather that all of the rbls listed in the file /usr/local/csf/lib/csf.rbls are supposed to be entered, one-by-one into the csf.rblcon file to be effective? Because from the little I can extract from the documentation my assumption (and it's only an assumption) is that yes, that's what I'm supposed to do. Yet something tells me no, not really.
