Summary

Ricardo Manzo asked how to limit connections to 90 users on IDS 9.40 on HP-UX. Obnoxio The Clown said TCP offered no way, though NETTYPE could help with shared memory. Hrvoje Zokovic suggested iptables rules, and Robert Roussey suggested NETTYPE soctcp,2,45. Obnoxio doubted this, saying the engine would allocate more listeners. No working solution was confirmed.

If you use TCP connections, I don't think there is any way. If you're using shared memory connections, you can configure NETTYPE appropriately. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.

Iptables? (I don't know if there's a HP-UX port) If you want to limit incoming connection to ssh server (port 22) no more than 10 connections in a 10 minute: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $SERVER_IP --sport 513:65535 --dport 22 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -m recent --set -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 600 --hitcount 11 -j DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s $SERVER_IP -d 0/0 --sport 22 --dport 513:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT HTH Hrvoje -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Ricardo Manzo Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 1:12 PM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: Number of users [10257] Hi Can I limit users connection ?
