I ran into some errors today when installing CSF on an Ubuntu 18.04 VPS system. *WARNING* TESTING mode is enabled - do not forget to disable it in the configuration 'lfd.service' -> '/usr/lib/systemd/system/lfd.service' 'csf.service' -> '/usr/lib/systemd/system/csf.service' chcon: invalid context: ‘...

Hello. After looking at some fresh csf.conf file I detected I was missing some stuff in my own csf.conf files. Some were logical because they were only for cPanel. Somewhere on the forums in a very old topic, I read that queue alert/interface was also only for cPanel because this worked with exim. H...

Curious about this too. We have a VPS running which has this issue too. About every minute a logfile entry with this. Also tried the commands: [root@vps: ~]# fuser -m /run/user/0 [root@vps: ~]# fuser -a /run/user/0 /run/user/0: [root@vps: ~]# no result, can't find the cause either. So if anyone woul...

No as far as I know if you change ports_sshd to a custom port then the custom port will be protected like port 22 was.

You're welcome.

CSF does not only log but also blocks the user which makes the attempts. That is the default behaviour.
The mail you get is always to notify you that a user has been blocked because of the attempts.

Or maybe I do not understand you correctly.

I have no issues with this.
You did restart sshd after changing the port and also added the custom port in the tcp_in and tcp_out in csf.conf and restarted csf in the receiving server?

If you want to run them after csf has run, then create a file called /etc/csf/csfpost.sh and add the lines in there. If you want them applied before CSF runs, create a file called /etc/csf/csfpre.sh and add the lines in there. In both cases you ofcourse have to restart csf after creating or changing...

Oh this is a fun one. Yes ofcourse you can change the SSH port, but do add the custom port in csf.conf incoming and outgoing first, before you start using it. If you also keep port 22 in csf.conf, then CSF will keep monitoring port 22 and you can set up a decent block rule because often they will ke...

You have to bump a 5 year old question for that? Should have created a new thread for it. Next to that, it's easy to find if you read the config file. I would advise against it, but it can be done by setting these settings like this: PT_LIMIT = "0" PT_DELETED = "1" Don't forget t...

MAC? Oh yeah. I had the same issue with a Mac user. It might be the same problem your user is having. Mine had an older version of the Mac OS. The older mail version on that OS try's to login in to *any* mail port available when checking for new mail. Combined with the fact that some fools set their...
