[cobalt-security] booting

[Theodore Jones <theoj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Which file do I need to edit to boot out password-crackers that try the
brute force assult on an htaccess file?  I tried adding their incoming
IP to the "hosts.deny" file under /etc/ but that didn't work.  Would
"access.conf" under /etc/httpd/conf/ be the one to edit?  If so, what
would be the correct syntax for adding an individual IP to block?

Thanks Much,

~ Theo
