Bug#356733: RFP: libpam-abl -- blacklist hosts and users after failed authentication attempts

2006-03-13 Thread David Schmitt
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: libpam-abl
  Version : 0.2.3
  Upstream Author : Andy Armstrong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.hexten.net/pam_abl/
* License : GPL
  Description : blacklist hosts and users after failed authentication 
attempts

 A PAM module that provides auto blacklisting of hosts and users
 responsible for repeated failed authentication attempts. Generally
 configured so that blacklisted users still see normal login prompts but
 are guaranteed to fail to authenticate.


This was posted in the thread[1] about ssh brute force mitigation and seems
really useful to have.

Thanks in advance, David Schmitt

This program facilitates comparison of various font and font rendering 
parameters.

It displays the same line of text in sizes from 5 to 36px simultaneously and 
allows changing of font size range and increment, hinting, autohinting, 
anti-aliasing, subpixel smoothing, and aspect, immediately showing the 
changes on the screen.

For us mere mortals, please state whether this thing initiates or
accepts connections. "LNS" doesn't ring any bell for me. 

Perhaps contrasting this package agains l2tpd is worth a paragraph too.

The same here: what is a "walled garden" in the context of L2TP?




Thank you for your time and work!

lintian/stable complains about /usr/doc/ links, but I think I can ignore
these. lintian/unstable had some other nits to pick, which I fixed too. 

I reuploaded the packages as -1 because the changes were all pretty
trivial.

One thing I wasn't able to figure out: the .changes file lists
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as maintainer. Where can i set _this_??

Yes. See

Several clients (including myself) want virusscanning at the mail
gateway, but I was always reluctant to implement complex setups with
dual queues or double sends which let setup maintnance costs explode.


After browsing a bit through the URL there, exiscan v4 looks even more
intresting, because with v2 one has to make sure that no exim -q is run
_ever_ (which isn't as easy as it sounds).

OAre there any plans to package exim v4 in the near future?
