Re: DenyHosts alternatives for RHEL3

Hugh,

You should be able to set up your CentOS box as a loghost and send your
logs that way. There should be plenty of how-tos online. It should not
need to be secured in transfer if it is on your lan, but if it is not,
there should be docs on tunneling that. The man pages for syslog should
also have a nice description on setting that up.

Can anyone recommend a viable alternative for DenyHosts that will
work on RHEL3?
Ipfilters

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a quick look but it looks even more
complicated than fail2ban to setup. I will have a further look at both.

I am also considering using rsync to copy the RHEL3 /var/log/secure
file to my CentOS3 box (which is currently running DenyHosts without
any problem), modify the DenyHosts to check his file and then rsync
back the /etc/hosts.deny file to the RHEL3 box. I am not sure if this
is practical but it seems less complicated then trying to get fail2ban
or Ipfilters running on a single box.

Anyway thanks for you input.

Regards, Hugh
