I'd like to use the --limit and --limit-burst options to protect my sshd from dictionary password attacks. Considering the userbase and activity level I'd say that something like this would suit me just fine. --limit 6/hour --limit-burst 2 This would limit it to two connect/login attempts at first, and then one more every 10 minutes.. correct? Would this be the proper command to use? I'm trying to just limit connections from the outside world, not from the local network, hence the address as a destination: iptables -A INPUT --d 66.80.174.210 --dport 22 \ --limit 6/hour --limit-burst 2 <EOL> Tib
