+# This yate module will monitor failed authentications and send the source
+# IP addresses of users who fail to authenticate to the iptables extension
+# "recent" for filtering.
+#
+# You have to have the iptables extension "recent" installed and you need to
+# create and reference a "recent" list in your firewall configuration.
+# For most people it's probably enough to add this custom firewall rule
+# to /etc/firewall.user:
+#
+#  iptables -A input_rule -m recent --name yate_auth_failures --rcheck --seconds 3600 --hitcount 5 -j DROP
+#
+# This line will drop all incoming traffic from users who have failed to
+# authenticate 5 consecutive times within the last hour.
+#
+# To enable this script in yate, add this script to the [scripts] section
+# in /etc/yate/extmodule.conf.
