Set the auth.info facility.level in /etc/syslog.conf and point it to a log (/var/log/authlog for example). Ensure the log file exists. Restart syslog and attempt the log in.
Hi,
I notice in my Sun Solaris 8 sparc workstation, if I failed my login in the 5th time, I will be closed the connection from the host.
I want to make 3 times. That is, if user fails to login with 3 attempts, he will be closed the connection.
How to do it? Of course I am the admin of the... (2 Replies)
Hi. I would like to be able to deny IP address for too many failed login attemps (either from ssh, sftp, ftp, etc). The system I wish this to work on is an AIX 5.1 system. I'm new to AIX but I'm a linux user. There is a program for linux called fail2ban which reads from the log files and see if... (1 Reply)

tcpdrop
TCPDROP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TCPDROP(8)NAME
tcpdrop -- drop TCP connections
SYNOPSIS
tcpdrop local-address local-port foreign-address foreign-port
tcpdrop [-l] -a
DESCRIPTION
The tcpdrop command may be used to drop TCP connections from the command line.
If -a is specified then tcpdrop will attempt to drop all active connections. The -l flag may be given to list the tcpdrop invocation to drop
all active connections one at a time.
If -a is not specified then only the connection between the given local address local-address, port local-port, and the foreign address
foreign-address, port foreign-port, will be dropped.
Addresses and ports may be specified by name or numeric value. Both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported.
The addresses and ports may be separated by periods or colons instead of spaces.
EXIT STATUS
The tcpdrop utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
If a connection to httpd(8) is causing congestion on a network link, one can drop the TCP session in charge:
# sockstat -c | grep httpd
www httpd 16525 3 tcp4
192.168.5.41:80 192.168.5.1:26747
The following command will drop the connection:
# tcpdrop 192.168.5.41 80 192.168.5.1 26747
The following command will drop all connections but those to or from port 22, the port used by sshd(8):
# tcpdrop -l -a | grep -vw 22 | sh
