Some of you might encounter this odd issue while trying to FTP to your server. Using the same login, you were able to login to your cPanel or SSH. But with FTP, it gives you "530 Login authentication failed".

If you are running WHM/cPanel, just run the following script.

root@localhost []# /scripts/ftpupdate
Updating ftp passwords for all users
Ftp password files updated.
Ftp vhost passwords synced

I've just setup Windows and Linux (CentOS 5) network. The problem is I can ping Linux from Windows using it's IP but I cannot ping it using the hostname.

All you need to do is run Samba so windows can see your Linux machine. If you don't have Samba, just install it and run it as a service.

DDOS Prevention Tools : BFD Installation

BFD is a modular shell script for parsing applicable logs and checking for authentication failures. There is not much complexity or detail to BFD yet and likewise it is very straight-forward in its installation, configuration and usage. The reason behind BFD is very simple; the fact there is little to no authentication and brute force auditing programs in the linux community that work in conjunction with a firewall or real-time facility to place bans.

Note: BFD default configuration is designed to work in conjunction with APF versions 0.9.3+.

APF or Advanced Policy Firewall is a policy based iptables firewall system designed for ease of use and configuration. It employs a subset of features to satisfy the veteran Linux user and the novice alike. Packaged in tar.gz format and RPM formats, make APF ideal for deployment in many server environments based on Linux.
