Severity: wishlist

  Description     : blacklist hosts and users after failed authentication attempts

 A PAM module that provides auto blacklisting of hosts and users
 responsible for repeated failed authentication attempts. Generally
 configured so that blacklisted users still see normal login prompts but
 are guaranteed to fail to authenticate.


This was posted in the thread[1] about ssh brute force mitigation and seems
really useful to have.

Thanks in advance, David Schmitt
