script needed

[kmail]

Hello all,

I need a script to read the last 50 lines for example from the messages log
and look for repeated ftp access attempts, then when the number of attempts
exceeded 10 or any configurable number, then that ip will be appended to the
hosts.deny file, or, something can help preventing that kind of attack

any idea ?

Thanks
