I've used similar rules for some time now and they've proven very effective. The only problem I've run into is with subversion over SSH, it generates a lot of short connections sometimes (for example when browsing a repository) and can look like an attack to this kind of block. For that reason I am interested in testing DENYHOSTS. -- Brian Gaynor www.pmccorp.com FC4/Linux on DELL Inspiron 5160 3.0Ghz canis 08:55:20 up 26 min, 1 user, load average: 0.27, 0.22, -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
