I'm trying to get denyhosts-2.5 to work in 6.0 and have inserted a line in hosts.allow ALL: xxx.myoffice.com : allow sshd: /etc/hosts.deniedssh : deny ALL: ALL : allow but am finding that this causes my home ip to be denied even though I log in with a pre-shared key. The /etc/hosts.deniedssh file is being created, but my home ip is not present (it would be hard as I have a dynamically allocated one anyhow). The hosts.deniedssh file contains entries like ....... ALL: 61.219.xx.250 : deny ALL: 209.8.xx.242 : deny ....... I am getting an error in the auth log related to the denial that looks like this /etc/hosts.allow, line 24: can't verify hostname: getaddrinfo(xxx-yyy-......, AF_INET) where /etc/hosts.allow line24 corresponds to the sshd: /etc/hosts.deniedssh : deny line in hosts.allow. I have the same setup in 6.1 and it seems to work. But I still see messages related to line 24 from that setup. Does denyhosts work properly? -- Robin Becker
