It shouldn't be too hard to patch /usr/src/crypto/openssh/sshd.c:server_accept_loop() by adding code for per-IP truncated binary exponential backoff algorithm just before forking a child once a connection is accept(2)ed. It's strange that it hasn't already been done, being such an obvious and useful addition. ;) > Thank you. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
