I use it on my system. I'm pretty happy with it. It blocks annoying script 
kiddies from Korea and Holland (.nl) trying to gain Admin access to a 
non-existent WinNT/2000 on my IP   *sigh*

It was covered on TriLUG's "Linux Security 101" talk.

More on  my website, including a portsentry sample configuration file.
