I read somewhere that they were able to limit CVS pserver connections
to 4 a minute.
I would like to do something similar.
I currently have a firewall/nat box running 4.9-RELEASE-p1, using ipf.
The CVS server is behind the firewall/nat box running on 4.9-RELEASE-p1.
Thanks for any insight you may provide...
If you're running CVS pserver out of inetd, which I believe is the
usual practice, then you can limit the total number of simultaneous
connections to a service or the maximum rate at which a service may be
invoked: either of those can apply to connections from one specific IP
address or to all connections. See inetd.conf(5), but the syntax you
want is something like:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait/0/4 root/usr/bin/cvscvs
--allow-root=/your/cvsroot/here pserver
Cheers,
Matthew
