Alright yep it was that was suppose to be

dh dh2048.pem

So I believe I'm getting closer.

Apr 07 16:16:26 dc.pricehouse.ca sshd[11480]: pam_succeed_if(sshd:auth): requirement "uid >= 1000" not met by user "root"

If I'm counting right line 85 is

dh2048.pem

@scottalanmiller

Just finished adding Fail2Ban and will lock down root either tonight or tomorrow

Thanks for the help guys.

Went through the how to again and found 2 mistakes that I rectified.

Noticed the problem happened below.

Changed "enabled" to "enable" and looks like it works.

Setting up Fail2Ban on my linux box.

When I do

fail2ban-client status sshd

I get

[root@dc fail2ban]# fail2ban-client status sshd
ERROR NOK: ('sshd',)
Sorry but the jail 'sshd' does not exist

When I check the audit logs I get logs....

No problems with me so far...

I dont to both of you nope.

This is really growing from my simple "Oh I'll just throw a DC in the cloud"

Haha, thinking I'm in over my head more and more by the post.

Thanks guys I'll look into that right now, I believe someone made a how to over the weekend.

Hey all.

Just wondering if the large number of failed logon attempts for my cloudatcost server is something I should be concerned about.

Thanks

Strange when I went to sit back down I ended up getting a different error message..

Well, threw my hat in the ring.

Polishing up my resume

If anything this experience has taught me I know nothing about Linux haha.

Havent looked into this one yet (going to start right now) but my kid is ""Maybe"" asleep so incase I get taken away wanted it up here

Truly great tool!

@Danp

Ya I thought about that, replied on their post asking if they do P/T, with no response.

I definitely lack on the Linux side though which I assume is the majority of their clientele

I'm my head I'm also thinking an entry level position where I don't have to think making crap wage. However if I more so focused on a solid "8pm-midnight" part time kind of thing with more specialized skills I would assume a decently larger wage.

(Keep in mind I live in Alberta where they pay IT pretty well)
