Hello again, The last I checked, we had 170,000+ failed login attempts; 1 every 10 seconds on our CentOS 7 web server on Digital Ocean. I tried installing fail2ban, but the install failed;
google search yielded: "By default, fail2ban works with iptables. However, *this has been deprecated in favor of the firewalld" . * I have a 29 character root password and will lengthen the other sudo passwords. I hope to be rid of this CentOS 7 system soon, but until then it's best to install an additional roadblock to the brute force login attempts. I'll take suggestions even though I've googled alternatives to Fail2Ban. I'm a Linux user for almost 5 years now, but I benefit greatly from NLUG input. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
