hello

i'm interested in configuring PAM on my 4x system so that a user is locked out of ignored if trying to log in unsuccessfully via ftp within the space of a minute or so. i'm trying to eliminate brute force attacks...


can anyone point me towards some good tutorials on how to do this?

thanks
redmond
