[BlueOnyx:04795] Re: ProFTPD module mod_ifsession

[John Simpson]

The mod_ban.c module appears to have been installed by default on our
BlueOnyx system.

I think that the point of it is not to block users altogether, but to
limit excessive connections by enforcing a time-out on overzealous
ftp'ers.

The current configuration:
    # If the same client reaches the MaxLoginAttempts limit 30 times
    # within 10 minutes, automatically add a ban for that client that
    # will expire after 30 minutes.
    BanOnEvent MaxLoginAttempts 30/00:10:00 00:30:00

    # Ban clients which connect too frequently. This rule bans clients
    # which connect more than 30 times within one minute.  Include a special
    # message just for them and keep them out for one hour.
    BanOnEvent ClientConnectRate 30/00:01:00 01:00:00 "Stop connecting
so frequently!"

My objective is to eliminate the logging of connections occurring from
127.0.0.1 every 15 minutes.
