Hiya; I run multiple servers running FreeBSD 4.X-S (most of them 4.3-S). Lately, I have been getting alot of brute force attemps to login into my machine, not that I care, because they dont have a chance of logging in, also I have been getting alot of port scans, well the port scans I took care of via portsentry and ipfw (freebsd's firewall). What I am wondering is, is there a way, for like after 10 invalid logins from the same host/ip (mask?) can I have login run a ipfw command and block them for like 24 hours or something? I can do the 24 thing, I just need to know how to have login run whatever script I want it to call. Thanks a million. - Jason L.
