hi there, I have fail2ban and apf installed, apf comes with its own bfd (brute force detection) module but still I see some attack evidence in my logs which is usually fine but right now I get some new errors which I do not know how to interpret. I see a lot of these entries lately, so whats the matter with /var/log/btmp ? and one more thing if it helps:
I found this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=314956 http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2005-April/051017.html
thx, I had googled too, found the first link you gave but at that time the solution was not yet posted if I understood it right, the bug was fixed in another version, so I can just wait a little until it arrives in debian 3.1 stable...
