resisted. Previously, I tried 'fail2ban' and while it ran, it failed to detect any attacks. I thought I had correctly installed it, but obviously I had not and disabled it when I "discovered" the 'recent' feature of iptables, pointed out to me by several members of this forum. IPTABLES appears to support this feature, it shows up in the iptables -L printout but Wireshark shows it is not being effective against whatever is attacking. Thus, I probably will need to re-try fail2ban unless you or others have additional thoughts on the IPTABLES solution, which would be my first choice, if it could be made to work.
I have not tried fail2ban yet, but I'm running denyhosts on one of my boxes and it works really great. Even managed to get myself blacklisted when my muscle memory got out of sync while switching back and forth between UK and US keyboards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
