So, with OpenSSH deciding to drop tcpwrappers support, there doesn't appear to be too much future for denyhosts unless someone does the work to make it either generate firewall rules or generate whatever sshd configuration is needed to make use of its internal host matching logic. (Though the latter really isn't preferable since it will reject the connection much later in the negotiation process.)
Doing the firewall thing basically leaves denyhosts in the same boat as fail2ban, except that fail2ban does more than ssh, supports the systemd journal on Linux distros that use it, and seems to be actively developed. Due to this I will probably drop denyhosts from Fedora. I haven't been the best maintainer in any case but there is no point in keeping the software around if it doesn't do much of anything. - J< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Denyhosts-user mailing list Denyhosts-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/denyhosts-user
