Hi,
two questions to secure my linux system:
1. Is there a switch where I can disable an account after n failed login attempts?
That's a really good way to get yourself denial of serviced......
2. When I login, is there a way to show the number of unsuccessful login attempts?
You'd have to have a program toss the log files for that day or whatever, add 'em up and print them out.
Thanks, Alex.
