additionally setting

UseDNS no

in /etc/sshd_config finishes the process yielding this in asl.log:

[Time 2006.11.03 21:46:20 UTC] [Facility auth] [Sender sshd] [PID 284] 
[Message error: PAM: Authentication failure for illegal user baduser 
from 128.83.86.67] [Level 3] [UID -2] [GID -2] [Host rgrtw-05s-power-mac-g5]

After the requisite number of attempts, denyhosts gives:

2006-11-03 15:46:31,432 - denyhosts   : INFO     new denied hosts: 
['128.83.86.67']

(I'm 6 hours behind UTC)

I think it is now working as intended!

Thanks,
Robert
