Connlimit module for RHEL4 in the separate RPM package

[Milan Keršláger <milan kerslager pslib cz>]

Hi,

as I need to be able to survive simple DoS attack caused by worms and to
protect my Web server I need connlimit module. With this module I'm able
to write simple iptable rules to avoid multiple connection from the same
machine (subnet), ie:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m connlimit ! --connlimit-above 2 \
  --connlimit-mask 32 --dport smtp -j ACCEPT

So I made RPM package with this module (from patch-o-matic). The module
is tweaked to fit to (patched 2.6.9) RHEL4 kernel. Please report bugs or
improvements to me (RPM package) or to patch-o-matic people (module
itself):

The RPM package along with SRPMS can be found at my own yum-enabled
repository:

ftp://ftp.pslib.cz/pub/users/Milan.Kerslager/RHEL-4/stable/
ftp://ftp.vslib.cz/pub/local/milan.kerslager/RHEL-4/stable/
ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/milan_kerslager/RHEL-4/stable/

The packages are similar to ones I make for RHEL3... In case of new
kernel you need only to wait for my update or recompile your own:

rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-modules-connlimit....src.rpm --target=i686
