I haven't used or installed denyhosts yet. I'd like to, but I need to know how the software determines that a given failed login attempt failed due to being for an 'invalid user'. Somewhere on the website, either the faq or the home page, mention is made that the determination is made based on a lookup in /etc/passwd. I hope that's only part of the story. I have boxen using nss_ldap and pam_ldap, so the end users who are logging in are not actually in /etc/passwd. I need to be sure that denyHosts isn't going to consider all failed login attempt to be made by invalid-users.
So, does denyHosts honor nsswitch.conf? -- Happy Landings, Jon Detert IT Systems Administrator, Milwaukee School of Engineering 1025 N.
