Re: [suse-security] OpenSSH: Disable account after n failed logins

Hi,

But you should install logcheck or something anyway ... (and block the attacker with ipchains, hosts.deny, etc.)

Blocking the attacker can still give you a DoS: been there, done that, got my liver ripped out and eaten raw by a particularly angry user that couldn't log in anymore :o) Kind regards, Yuri.
