Best of all it's already packaged for Fedora in Extras. I have been using the iptables approach for a while now and am generally happy with it. Recently I started to notice that some of these scripts will return after a delay - an attempt to get around the temporary (time limited) iptables block. I recently added denyhosts with a threshold one larger than my iptables threshold. Now denyhosts catches the repeat offenders and adds a permanent (or at least very long) block, and the one time attacks are handled by iptables. -- Brian Gaynor www.pmccorp.com FC4/Linux on DELL Inspiron 5160 3.0Ghz canis 09:55:13 up 7 min, 1 user, load average: 0.30, 0.50,
