Wow, thanks for all of the DenyHosts love. I admit, I've dropped the ball a bit and the project has been dormant for too long. I'm not familiar w/ any specific Solaris issues and am pleased that others are using it and offered suggestions.
Currently, DH won't capture the "last message repeated X times" because it evaluates each log line as it occurs and doesn't look back. So if it gets a "last message repeated 5 times" it just see that and doesn't know what the last message was (a brute force ssh attempt?). I believe it's also possible for it syslog to log successive "last message repeated 5 times" but not certain. I'll look into supporting it in the future, but since I've been so flaky I can't promise a delivery time. Outside of tuning the server, re-writing a large chunk of it and re-locating it several times, I've had little time to work on the DenyHosts client recently.
