Hello

I went through the options but didn't find the Failban application so I could stop accepting registration attempts from a given IP after X failed attempts.

Did I miss it, or if it's not part of uClinux-dist, is there an alternative solution?

Thank you.

do you actually mean fail2ban ? it is not in the dist. it is also a bit fat and requires python, so unless you need python for something else, seems like you should write your own simpler log parser.

Sorry. Yes, I meant "fail2ban".

I'll see if there a lighter solution that can reconfigure the firewall on the fly.

Thank you.
