Re: [opensuse-security] SSH access refused for legitimate user under heavy load

Dear Bujdosó, thanks for your reply.

_If_ you think that the firewall is responsible for the timeouts you might take a look at your /var/log/firewall In the firewall log, I have no entries for the machine from which the connections were initiated (and refused to). How should I interpret this observation?

Then you can look at /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 config file in the "FW_SERVICES_ACCEPT_EXT" section. The hitcount/blockseconds identifiers do not occur in this file...

Should I investigate other paths than the firewall? Any clues? Thanks a lot for your advice, Pieter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
