Hi, Rajan Mithani here...
Friends if u wann to block any perticular IP you can use IPCHAINS (
IPTABLES) which acts as a FIREWALL to block various IP Addresses
Also using IPTABLES you can restict variou outside user to access SSH,
FTP n various other services...
This is one way to allow security for outsiders..

> Running Linux Es 3.0. Is there a way to configure logins so they are rejected after a certain number of failures? I can see from my logs that somebody has been trying to get into my system. They consistently (like every few seconds) try to log in as a certain user. After a while, they give up and try another user. What is the best way to handle this. I would like to be able to set up each account so they are blocked after a certain number of failures. I also would like to be able to block certain IP addresses after a certain number of failed logins, even if they were for different user names.
