If you refer to the thread "[SLE] stopping dictionary attacks on sshd" look at the post from Kevin 15:19 today. There is not more to add. This "coolsolution" or changing the portnumber sshd will listen on only help you that these attacks don't fill you logs.
Adding a host to the /etc/hosts.deny file does much more than prevent my logs from filling up. It's not filling my logs because the offending host is no longer accessing my server.
Not really. It stops that offender, at least for some time. It will not stop the thousand more offenders out there. It is not a final solution. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDchhdtTMYHG2NR9URAksEAJ9jJYqdRlfY248/kLSF7fBIm5kmjQCfdcNd C2tHFWOGC/BFuJuOOsyMLPQ= =/8D/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
