Please can anyone put me through on how to set number of login limitation to a linux server behind ASA Firewall. Will it be done on the server or Firewall?

If you want to limit the amount of login attemps to your server your best bet would be using something like fail2bin on your server which will check your logfiles for failed logon attemps and blacklist IPs that exceed a certain threshold for a period of time.

In any case you could also limit the source ip addresses that can connect to your system via an ACL on ASA or on the server.

Let me know if this answers your question.
