Bug ID: 10430
Summary: SSH Denyhosts Web panel does not support entry of
range of "Authorized IP"
Classification: Contribs
Product: SME Contribs
Version: 9.3
Hardware: ---
OS: ---
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: smeserver-denyhosts
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
I keep accidentally blocking myself when SSHing in from my internal network
(yes I have fat fingers sometimes ;-)
My PCs IP address comes from the SME DHCP server and I don't really want to fix
it, so I can not add it to the 'Allowed Host' list.
However I note that Denyhosts supports ranges in the Authorized IP formats:
(quoted from http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#3_7)
# This line prevents all IP address in the 1.1.1 network from being blocked
# 1.1.1.*
#
# This line prevents IP addresses in the range 1.1.1.6 to 1.1.1.23 from being
blocked
# 1.1.1.[6-23]
Unfortunately the web panel does not allow these to be entered in the
"Authorized IP" field.
I manually added a DB entry of 192.168.1.[1-254] and it works, the entry is
even listed in the Allowed hosts list in the web panel.
So it looks like if the ode that validates the "Authorized IP" field was
modified this feature could be added.
Thanks for a useful contrib and I hope this suggestion will be considered.
