I use tcp wrappers, and have failures send email to the alias
"security", which goes to our sysadms. Here's my
/usr/local/etc/hosts.deny; it captures all the variables tcpd knows --
probably overkill, but helps when the user and host name cannot be
determined:



# Deny everyone, unless they're explicitly allowed.

# Don't reverse finger on an incoming finger: avoid finger-wars.

fingerd: ALL

# Let the security geeks know about all other probes!

ALL: ALL: /usr/local/etc/safe_finger -l @%h | /usr/sbin/Mail -s "TCP_Wrapper Al
ert: `/usr/bsd/hostname` %s attacked by %u@%n [%a] (a=%a, A=%A, c=%c, d=%d, h=%
h, H=%H, n=%n, N=%N, p=%p, s=%s, u=%u)"  security@it



This one runs on an SGI, so the paths will be different than
FreeBSD. But all you should have to do is change them to where the
binaries run on your system...

Oh, here's one I do have running on a FreeBSD system. It must have
been pre-installed when I build the tcpd port -- which builds it
slightly differently than I do on other operating systems I use:

ftpd:   ALL
ALL:    ALL:    spawn (/usr/local/bin/safe_finger -l @%h | /usr/bin/Mail root) &

It's doing essentially the same thing.
