[rhn-users] Login

[Cedric Porte]

Hi Dr. Laval,

Which protocol do you use to login ? SSH (port 22), Telnet (port 23) ?
I think is more efficient to block access to login for everyone except for 
authorized IP.
Can you use this politic security  in your environment ?

Cordialement,

[rhn-users] Login






Running Linux Es 3.0.  Is there a way to configure logins so they are 
rejected after a certain number of failures?  I can see from my logs that 
somebody has been trying to get into my system.  They consistently (like 
every few seconds) try to log in as a certain user.  After a while, they 
give up and try another user.  What is the best way to handle this.  I 
would like to be able to set up each account so they are blocked after a 
certain number of failures.  I also would like to be able to block certain 
IP addresses after a certain number of failed logins, even if they were 
for different user names. 
 
Thanks
 
P. Laval
