[WBEL-users] WBEL 3.0 iptables [SSH Dictionary attacks followup]

[Kyle]

Hi folks,

I read a thread from back in March, where a couple of you discussed 
adding a couple of rules to iptables to rate-limit ssh connections via 
the use of libipt_recent.so in the config.

Only prob is, libipt_recent.so is not in the basic intstall. I googled 
and found that this was an RHEL bug which was fixed in a subsequent 
update and could be rectified locally by simply installing and 
recompiling the src rpm. I have since downloaded the update src rpm for 
WBEL 3.0 from gatech.edu and recompiled iptables. Unfortunately 
libipt_recent.so still doesn't show up. So I suspect, I need to 
change/add something in the iptables.spec file from the src rpm. But I 
don't know what.

Can anyone help in that regard please?

What do I have to do/add/manipulate in order to get libipt_recent.so 
compiled for iptables?
