Anyone using Denyhosts and NEtBSD?
It is a neat solution to kept people from trying to hack into your
open port 22 repeatedly-- after a configurable # of hack attempts IPs
get added to hosts.deny.
I tried it a couple of point releases ago, and it worked fine, but
would eventually error out with access issues if it tried to parse
the auth.log file at the same time as someone was trying to get in
(and auth.log was being written to).
Thanks for help; the page for this python script is at <http://
denyhosts.sourceforge.net/>.
