Oh, okay. I was under the impression that shield-purge could be used to purge the database regardless of the quarantine time. Perhaps a --force option would be helpful. I suppose the man page indicates that I shouldn't execute it manually. :)
Does shield-purge compute the time difference between the trigger time and the current time, or does it assume that it is executed once per day? The later would explain the behavior I was experiencing. I would prefer computing the actual time difference for a more predictable operation. There should be an option to re-trigger based on the database. This option is useful when recomputing the firewall rules after a reboot, etc. Excellent program though. I've been looking for this type of solution for a long time. pam_tally works great, but it doesn't block the remote host. Now I use both. -Paul > Hi, > Please don't file another bug for the same thing, just replay. > Check out last line of /etc/security/shield.conf which defines for how > long entries should be kept.
