[TriLUG] list newbie has stuff to give away (gmail type stuff)

[James Lloyd Beidler]

Hi!
  I've been waiting for a good time to post to the list.  I just moved
back to Raleigh, but I haven't been able to make it to any LUG meetings.
 Anyway, I've been reading the list for a couple of months now to get a
feel of what this LUG was like.  You TriLUGgers seem a lot brighter than
the people at the last LUG that I attended.
  So since you seem so bright, I want to bribe one of you to do my dirty
work.

  I have two gmail invites to give away.  I'm willing to give one away to
anyone that can give me a simple and elegant way to automatically block
IPs of people that make multiple attempts at sshing into my machine
using accounts that do not exist (ie. test, guest, admin).  I use
IPTABLES ;)
  The other one will go to someone that can remind me of the apache
directive to keep apache from error logging MS exploits (like the
CMD.exe and ROOT.exe exploit).  I did it once, but I forgot what the
httpd.conf directive is.

  I've got too many other things on my plate to worry about these things
right now, but maybe a kind lugger out there would like a 5 minute
challenge.
  Hope to see you at the next meeting.
