Any progress on this? I've got half a mind to start digging into this myself. Denyhosts currently seems to be not working at all on my internet-facing fedora 20 box, and that sucks... This is all based on the most current fedora 20 denyhosts rpm. I'd file a bugzilla, but it seems the problem goes deeper than that. First, I had to manually create and chmod 0600 /var/log/secure for the denyhosts service to even be able to run. But given the fact that sshd doesn't even seem to be logging to that file (using systemd/journalctl subsystem instead), it's all going nowhere fast. I'm seeing no automated mods to /etc/hosts.deny or denials in /var/log/denyhosts. If you want, I can keep you posted if I have time to try fixing this in the sources. Is there already a python api for interfacing with the systemd logging facility to help expedite these changes? I would imagine so, but I just don't know at this point. If nothing else, there's always the output of `journalctl -al "_SYSTEMD_UNIT=sshd.service"`, or some such filtered data source, which could be sub-shelled and piped in for a data source... - gabriel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
