Re: Limit login attempts (how do I do it)
- Original Message - From: Bob Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FreeBSD [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 4:11 PM Subject: Limit login attempts (how do I do it) A NB question here. I am trying to limit the number of allowed login attempts against my FreeBSD box. I cannot find anything for a limit to this other than; login-retries=x in the /etc/login.conf. This does not seem to work with 5.0 Release, which is what I am running. A nudge to the FM or Man Pages would be helpful. Thanks Bob To anyone else looking for this, here's how to change these settings. They're defined in login.c: #define TTYGRPNAME tty /* name of group to own ttys */ #define DEFAULT_BACKOFF 3 #define DEFAULT_RETRIES 10 #define DEFAULT_PROMPT login: #define DEFAULT_PASSWD_PROMPT Password: Unless there's another way to do this, change those variables as desired and recompile login. -- Micheal Patterson TSG Network Administration 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

You could change the amount of attempts that could be tried, and instead of a delay after the max out the attempts, you could terminate the connection. Anyone know what I'm referring to? -- Micheal Patterson TSG Network Administration 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
