Hello,
I was unsucsessful with Google while searching for an answer to this
question so I'm bringing it to the list. I just read a LogWatch email
from back in Nov that says there were 610 failed attempts from a
specific IP address while trying to login as root.
What I'd like to know is if it's possible to lock out an IP address
after a certain number of failed attempts. Say, 10 attempts.
Thanks,
Chris.
