Seems I'm experiencing a DoS against vsftp login. Anybody got a good way to limit the number of failed login attempts by one IP address?
Thanks, John Hinton
You might give BlockHosts a look (http://www.aczoom.com/cms/blockhosts). It is designed to work with ssh or proftpd, but there are some notes in the forum about using it with vsftp. I've been quite happy with it for limiting SSH login failures on CentOS 4 systems. I tried to use it on CentOS 3 but it requires a newer version of Python.
YMMV.
