I am in need of a way to setup ipatbles to throttle connection attempts to my ftp server. I use Proftpd and I have it set up with 2 logins...1 for download and 1 for upload. Many users use each account. What I would like is to limit connection attemts to 1 per minute. Then, if a user connects more than that I would like their ip address placed into the hosts.deny file. If this is not possible then just ignoring the extra attempts per minute would work also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running Redhat 7.2 with 2.4.7-10 as a firewall/router with a homegrown iptables ruleset. Thanks, Mark markryan@cfl.rr.com
