I have built 3 ftp servers for our company using Alphaserver 300's and
Tru64 4.0f w/ PatchKit 1. The only software installed on the system
outside the OS is ProFTP and TCP wrappers. C2 security has been enabled.
TCP Wrappers are allowing Telnet requests from internal ip's only and
ftp request from any site. To insure that I installed the software
correctly I was doing test FTP and Telnet sessions from my workstation.
On two of the systems I had too many attempts to FTP into the system and
they will not allow my User ID or any ID from my workstation to create a
FTP session. I can telnet to all three systems without a problem and
anyone else can ftp to any of the systems that are allowed. Therefore I
relize that there is somekind of lock on not only my ID but also my
workstation IP/DNS name just for FTP sessions. Does anyone have a clue
where I can go to clear this situation up. I also relize this will be
handy to know down the road when some user forgets his password and has
too many incorrect login attempts and gets locked out of the system.
