hi all u guys, im using ispconfig, with vsftpd and sshd and i want to prevent brute force attacks to ftp & ssh i found blockhosts script but im having some problems,it seems that spawn does not launches blockshosts script in every connection, because when i run it manually then it works perfectly, i've configure sshd & vsftp in inetd but i think that is a problem with tcp_wrappers, does anybody know how to install or configure tcp_wrappers for this services in ubunt? thks a lot u all
You should have installed Proftpd instead of vsftpd. It is supported much better by ISPConfig and doesn't need tcp_wrappers...
Thks falko but i bit frightened about removing vsftpd & installing proftpd, will i have any problem with ispconfig panel if i remove vsftpd and installing proftpd because i have many clients on this server... thks in advanced
Install Proftpd as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p6 Afterwards change your FTP settings under Management -> Server -> Settings -> FTP.
