Thanks to all that have endured this thread and to all that have contributed their ideas. BTW, I did install 'fail2ban' and it did execute but it never caught any attacks...so obviously I screwed up in configuration somehow even though I pointed the thing to the syslog-ng file as input, etc but it never reported either an error or an attack.
I've been watching this thread and have had fail2ban in the back of my mind. Is Fail2ban not necessary anymore with the "recent" addition to the kernel. Is this the "new" way of doing things? Should fail2ban be considered a workaround/hack/old technology? ~Dale -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
