Hi all,

I have a connection at home with a fixed IP address.
That IP address is in the ip_whitelist
The ip_blacklist is empty
Every few days by login DA blacklist me.
My IP is at that moment in both the files: blacklisted and whitelisted...
Via SSH I change the blacklisted file and I can login again.
I tried to change the "Blacklist IPs for excessive login attempts" value from 10 to 25 or more
DA tell me when I do that: "Your request will be executed within 1 minute".
But nothing changed...
1. Can I change that manualy after login via ssh?
2. Is this a bug?
3. Any ideas?

System: Debian
Da version 1.33.7

Thanks.
 
Hello,

First, regarding nothing changing, ensure the dataskq is running every minute via cron:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=107

As for your IP ending up in the blacklist, make sure there are no extra spaces in the ip_whitelist file. For example, it's 1 IP per line... say your IP is "1.2.3.4" (without quotes)... if you had entered "1.2.3.4 " with a space at the end, then the check wouldn't match, and you'd be allowed to get blacklisted.

Hi John

The whitelist is 12 bytes. The IP address is 12 characters as in: 12.123.12.12. I put a cr now on the end to test. The file is now 13 bytes.


The file task.queue is created if I change the value in 'Blacklist IPs for excessive login attempts', 33 bytes long and is: 'action=directadmin&value=restart'

After a minute or so it is indeed gone. In the directadmin logfile I see the line:
directadmin restarted

But nothing changed on the settings...
