Hi DH'ers, Been using DenyHosts a while, but new to this mailing list.
On an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server system, where I'm running DenyHosts, I have several users who are logging in from their work machines where they have a key-pair. They use the public key for other machines, but not the one I manage. I have left the RESET_ON_SUCCESS parameter in its default state of NO So when they log in, because they don't have their pubkey installed on MY server, but they DO have a key-pair on their machine, I get the following sequence in my /var/log/auth.log sshd[<pid>]: Failed publickey for <valid-user> from <IP> ... sshd[<pid>]: Accepted password for <valid-user> ... sshd[<pid>]: pam_unix (sshd:session): session opened for <valid-user> etc. etc. My second question is, does DenyHosts count those failed publickey attempts towards a ban-limit?
