similar to: Configure unsuccessful login attempts

Hi I am trying to lock users after 3 attempts and then set the timeout before they can log in again. I thought i could achieve this with auth required pam_tally.so deny=3 unlock_time=600 in /etc/pam.d/system-auth but it seems to not be the case - I cant find a working config for this anywhere and i wonder if anyone has one they can share? thanks

Hi, I'm currently using, CentOS release 4.8 (Final) and wanted to update the pam_tally module to support unlock_time. I understand this is only support on centos 5.x and up. What are my options for updating pam_tally to support unlock_time, can I simply download and update from a centos repo or should I compile pam. I would appreciate some suggestions. paul -------------- next part

I have fail2ban working for EVERYTHING else except dovecot. I have tried using my own custom regex in conjunction with the regex on the dovecot.org site. Neither are picked up by fail2ban and I'm trying to use an imminent attack agaist dovecot, going on now, to my advantage to see when I get the right regexp. Here are my current ones: failregex = .*dovecot: (?:pop3-login|imap-login):

I am running Samba Version 4.1.23 as an AD/DC on Linux Slackware64 14.1. I am logging samba messages to /var/log/samba/log.samba with logging set to the following in smb.conf: log level = 2 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2 lanman:10 I have a script that scans this logfile for message like the following: auth_check_password_recv: sam_ignoredomain authentication for user [HPRS\thisuser] FAILED with

We have used the great managesieve you have merged together, with sieve, to create pigeonhole. However, when a user creates a custom script through a GUI of ours, the default, as we expected, would be ignored. Maybe you could add a retain_sieve_global=yes|no setting OR be more complex by having the sieve_global_dir copied to the users sieve_dir on first managesieve script save, if another

Hello: I have been looking into projects that will automatically restrict hacking attempts on my servers running CentOS 5. I think the two top contenders are: DenyHosts - http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net Fail2ban - http://www.fail2ban.org >From what I see, DenyHosts only blocks based on failed SSH attempts whereas Fail2ban blocks failed attempts for other access as well. The main benefit

Hello, is it possible to limit the number of pop3 (or imap) login attempts from one IP with dovecot to stop attackers? We recently had an attack from one IP-address lasting 50 minutes that tried 50000 pop3-logins with guessed users and passwords. I know about Fail2Ban but really would prefer an easy to configure solution inside of dovecot. Dovecot has this anvil daemon, can it be used

Thank for your answer: But i dont know understand why is following not working: I want to restrict the ssh access for a special domain member: In my "sshd_config" i added: AllowGroups restrictaccess root With user2 im able to login via ssh! log: pam_krb5(sshd:auth): user user2 authenticated as user2 at ROOTRUDI.DE With user1 im not! log: User user1 from 192.168.0.100 not allowed

hi All, I happened to login to one of my servers today and saw 96000 failed login attempts. shown below is the address its coming from. I added it to my firewall to drop. Failed password for root from 123.183.209.135 port 14299 ssh2 FYI - others might be seeing it also. Jerry

Hello all, At this moment I am running a samba-ldap-pdc. This works really good. But what worries me is the following thing: user accounts never get locked. This is a problem cause anyone can guess or use bruteforce to enter password. Is there a solution/workaround for this? I want the following situation : when a user tries to logon for 4 times I want the account to lock out the account.

Hi, Is there a way, or can a way be added, to add an "auth_failed_delay=10s" style option that would put in an artificial delay after a failed password attempt? As it stands now, Dovecot seems highly vulnerable to widescale brute-force password dictionary scans. Even if it's not configurable, can a delay be hardcoded to something like, say, 10 or 15 seconds? -- Dean Brooks dean

Dear group, How can I block login attempts to dovecot after trying 5 times in error? -- Best regards, Jos Chrispijn --- Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

Is there a way using dovecot facilities to block an IP from attempting POP3 connections (similar to the sendmail access file for smtp connections)? I usually do this at my border firewall, but if there's a quick and dirty way in dovecot to do this, it'd make life a little simpler. Thanks steve campbell

We alse have same problem, now we are running Dovecot 2.2.30.2 and also use Dovecot SASL for SMTP authentication (postfix 2.11). We need to save all failed login attempts to database as source IP address, username and date and time but post-login script can do this but only after successful login. Failed login attempts information may be useful in the fight with bruteforce attacks. It's

Hello, I have configured a Nagios server to be part of a Windows 2003 domain. The Linux server is RedHat 5.3 with winbind version 3.0.22. The configuration is using kerberos and pam with winbind to support Windows user and local account. Everything is working fine until we test the active directory failover. The system is still accessible through domain account but it's very slow and the

Okay, it's been a while since I've messed with EL4, and apparently I've gone stupid with respect to pam and properly enabling pam_tally2 in an appropriate fashion. My notes are for EL5, so if someone would be so kind as to smack me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
