Hi, Is it possible to use iptables as hammeprotection ? I want to deny a user who has just logged off .. for about 10seconds. I tried with this, but that didn't work. Maybe my mind is going completely in the wrong direction today? =) iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $my_ip --dport 21 -m limit --limit 10/second --limit-burst 1 --tcp-flags ALL SYN -j ACCEPT Greetings, Joachim _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
