Thank you, I didn't know about the fail2ban package. Maybe i'll try it (i wonder if it works immediately after install, or needs manual configuration to enable it?).
anyway, if it works it's true that it could be good enough to have an external package (as is the case now) to do that, since ssh-server is not installed by default and since only more expert users install ssh. -- blacklist hosts after 3 wrong password https://launchpad.net/bugs/77943 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
