Hi There

I am constantly getting these log messages for last few days:-

sshd[21015]: Failed password for root from X.X.103.152 port 21067 ssh2
sshd[21016]: Received disconnect from X.X.103.152: 11: Normal Shutdown, Thank you for playing


Are these indicating any brute-force attack ?Thanks
HM

it's a nice-to-have, maybe? but this sounds more like an opportunity for
you to sell some JNCIA courses. i mean, how long has junos been around now?

Not selling anything; just trying to solve a problem multiple
customers have reported and escalated.  I'm a software developer,
working on the UI code (CLI, MGD, configuration, XML API, scripting)
for 17+ years.

JUNOS 3.0 (the first release with the ui code) shipped during the
summer of 1998, IIRC.

Thanks,
Phil

Confusing comment, since this enhancement isn't about CLI inexperience.  It doesn't matter how long Junos has been around or how experienced someone is, it's still too incredibly easy to hit 'Enter' too soon and clear all your BGP neighbors by accident.

I don't see a problem with adding the requirement 'all'.

Just add a line "Reset all bgp sessions? [Y/N]" for confirmation.

Phil, I think what you propose sounds like a reasonable and
appropriately-scoped response to a real problem.

+1 to include the ?all? option.

In fact, coming from the IOS world, it amused me when I discovered that there was no ?*? or ?all? option to clear all neighbors.

yeah, i'm not slagging. just seems like poor training for newbie noc
engineers or something. this is a pretty rookie error, in my view, but i've
been around almost as long as you have ;-)

For us, yes. Fully support the idea of requiring an "all" argument.
