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......
Hmmm, there are systems that have an automatic reenable mechanism with a delay.... Anyone got a pam module for this? afx -- atsec information security GmbH Phone: +49-89-44249830 Steinstrasse 68 Fax: +49-89-44249831 D-81667 Muenchen, Germany WWW: www.atsec.com May the Source be with you!
