A possible BUG in CSF with LF_POP3D??

Posted: 20 Dec 2006, 23:56
by Sergio
Hi,
just want to report somenthing that I am having in my CSF.

I have set LF_TRIGGER = 0, in order for me to set the cumulative failures in each of the following commands. So, I set the LF_POP3D = 20, but for some reazon it is not working.

Look at this print screen:

Code: Select all

It is more than 20 failures and CSF has not blocked the offending IP.

What do you have LF_SELECT and LF_INTERVAL set to?

I am having the same issue.

LF_SELECT is set to 0
and
LF_INTERVAL is set to 300

It doesn't seem to be incrementing the login failures. My log file shows (ip modified of course):

Thu Dec 21 04:57:55 2006 lfd: Failed POP3 login from 70.162.XX.XXX - 1 failure(s) in the last 275 secs

I installed this on 2 servers tonight and it's working on one, but not the other. The only difference in the config is that the one it is not working on is a Monolithic Kernel and the one that is IS working on isn't. I don't think this would effect it, but I thought I would mention it since it is the only difference that I see.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Scott

That's actually correct. Look at the log times. They're happening 5 minutes apart and the interval for login failures is set to 300 seconds = 5 minutes. The count is reset every 300 seconds which is why it doesn't go above 1.

The original post is likely to be the same reason.

Ah... I was looking at the times on the right (1 failure(s) in the last 130 secs, etc) not the stamp on their check. Tunnel vision I guess :-)

Anyway... this is the best add on I have seen for cpanel! It's a 1000 times better than APF.

Thanks for this!

Sorry I didn´t write back on this.

Thankyou Sarah and Jonathan, after I set LF_INTERVAL it worked real nice, it was my fault.
