Someone is running a bot trying to see if you are using weak user/password. There are 4 ways to stop this (that I know of) - disable password logins and just use ssh keys for login - run ssh on some different port - use port knocking for ssh (http://blog.andrew.net.au/2005/02/16#ipt_recent_and_ssh_attacks) - use DenyHosts (http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/) if you cannot do the others -- _.-, raj shekhar .--' '-._ http://rajshekhar.net _/`- _ '. http://rajshekhar.net/blog '----'._`.----. \ ` \; WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE ;_\ -- God's Last Message to his Creation _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
