Failed to getpwnam
Posted: 29 Dec 2013, 22:16
Hi all,
I'm seeing quite a few entries in my logs that look like the below, only changing the username. Looks like someone is trying to guess user/pass combinations. It appears like CSF isn't blocking these failed login attempts, any idea why? Im using the latest CSF version.
