    pppd: How to limit number of failed password attempts?

    Thanks for the link. I am familiar with CHAP vs. PAP. I think I may just figure a way to log all ppp and pptpd messages to a file, and then use 'swatch' to look for authentication failures, and then run a script that would blacklist the client IP. The trouble is figuring out two consecutive...

    pppd: How to limit number of failed password attempts?

    Well, it looks like PAM does not work with CHAP authentication, according to this post...

    pppd: How to limit number of failed password attempts?

    I just recompiled my heavily hacked up version of ppp with PAM support, and I have verified that it is linked to PAM: [root@hendrix ppp]# ldd /usr/sbin/pppd libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x00fce000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00abf000) libcrypt.so.1 =>...

    pppd: How to limit number of failed password attempts?

    Well, I guess I could try to use PAM for this. I have not used PAM for ppp sessions in the past, but this may be worth a try. I will try to configure ppp for PAM, and see what happens. I am also thinking of using swatch to monitor my log file for failed attempts, and then executing a script...

    pppd: How to limit number of failed password attempts?

    I would like to do two things, on a PPTP server that I run, which of course uses pppd. I use the server at http://poptop.org to server VPN clients. Since the PPTP server has very bad password encryption, I would like to limit the number of failed login attempts to the server. I was thinking...

    How can I build a bootable CD, from an existing running system?

    How can I build a bootable CD, from an existing running system?

    I currently have a system that has been setup according to the Linux Kiosk HOWTO, and everything works great. We needed a machine that could only browse one area of our Intranet, and get nowhere else, and no settings could be changed. It reboots from cron nightly, and has been running like...

    Apache authentication based on Time of day

    I know I can use a little "cron magic" to move a .htaccess file into a particular directory at a particular time, but I am wondering if there is an apache module or something else that may help what I am trying to do, which is basically open up a directory on the webserver for password...

    SUM (Only SUM positive Records)

    I have an application, which is broken with respect to recording usage. If the emergency stop is pressed, the application still records the usage, but because it interfaces with a scale, and the weight of the scale usually contains a bucket, the usage recorded will be -2 to -5 (if the bucket is...

    cdrom mount problem

    Sorry, I meant to say just post the tail end, and you did :-) Looks like it may be a hardware issue. Do you have the latest kernel for RH 7.1? Maybe it was a bug in the kernel, that is now fixed. The latest is: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-262.html 'uname -a' will show you your...

    cdrom mount problem

    After you run the mount command, type in 'dmesg' and post the output. Did you get a chance to try the CD in a known working machine? Do other CD's work in this machine? If the CD has been burned by someone, has the session been closed? Bruce Garlock bruceg@tiac.net http://brucegarlock.com

    cdrom mount problem

    It's possible the CD is bad. Does it work on another machine? Also, exactly what command are you using to mount the cdrom, and what are the contents of your /etc/fstab? Bruce Garlock bruceg@tiac.net http://bruceg.dyndns.org

    Sendmail SMTP authentication with SmartHost

    This turned out to be a MUA issue, not a MTA issue. Read more about it here: http://pcunix.com/Linux/sendmail.html Bruce Garlock bruceg@tiac.net http://bruceg.dyndns.org

    Sendmail SMTP authentication with SmartHost

    I have recompiled sendmail 8.11.6 from RH 6.2 Updates, with the SASL packages for SMTP authentication. Sending email from anything that calls sendmail directly (like 'mail' from the command prompt, when logged on to the sendmail host), works fine to our "Smart relay Host" server...

    cu -l /dev/ttyXX Run in Background

    I found a soltion to my problem. I need to specify the -tostop parameter to stty. Here is a command that works for me: (stty -tostop) |cu -l /dev/ttyD015 1>>/var/log/router.log & I now can log all messages from my router to a file, for further examination. Bruce Garlock bruceg@tiac.net...
