I use and recommend the package 'denyhosts' - Nice little python script that daemonizes to periodically check /var/log/secure, adding IPs from brute-force attackers to /etc/hosts.deny, then emails me its actions.

I'll check that out on my Feisty box when I get to work. However, I do have a Dapper box handy, so I just now verified that Dapper does *not* have it, at least on PowerPC (fail2ban is there, though, so we still win). If your distro doesn't have it in the repositories, then just go here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/">http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/</a> --TP <div class="moz-signature"> _______________________________ Do you <a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU</a>? <a href="http://www.cmosnetworks.com">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> </body> </html>
