Maybe he should go with Centos based solution, because moving what ever services are on his box to a smooth wall instance, is going to be murder!
I would still suggest fail2ban, I have hundreds of attempts against my server farm all day everyday, and the fail2ban scripts really help to stop my services being tied up denying logins or crashing, because each ip only gets three strikes, and is out, and that's across all servers. Also, my traffic logs are more accurate, and my average load dropped a bit too. --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel (bberry mail) -----Original Message----- From: "Sorin Srbu" <sorin.s...@orgfarm.uu.se> Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 09:22:39 To: 'CentOS mailing list'<centos@centos.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] [WTA] Automatically blocking on failed login _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
