i have been researching for alternatives.
it is latest centos 4 (4.7) and uses vsftpd 2.01
started (again) investigating possible PAM or PAM module way...
Q: is there a PAM way to control repeated crack retires on vsftpd?
possibly something that can be done in /etc/pam.d/vsftpd
i have been looking for a solution other than fail2ban and/or similar methods using hosts.allow and hosts.deny or iptables
specifically, i am trying to stop repeated access to vsftpd after more than x attempts from the same ip address....
thanks in advance for any pointers..
