Hi Folks,
    I'm trying to install denyhosts-py25-2.6-1 on a 10.5 (Leopard)  
mac.  As far as I can tell "Fink install denyhosts-py25-2.6-1" went  
fine -- no error notices.  I am now trying to configure.  So, a few  
questions:

1) I found instructions that only involve editing the sshd_config  
file.  Is this sufficient?

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners/19292/match=denyhosts

2) Elsewhere, I've seen that one has to also edit the crontab file.   
Can I skip this and just do step 1?

3)  Part of the instructions of step one involves the sshd_config  
settings

PasswordAuthentication no
UsePAM yes
UseDNS no
If the UsePAM somehow doesn't work right, will setting  
"PasswordAuthentication no" leave my computer open to random logins?   
Just being paranoid here, which is probably justified since I get a  
constant stream of unauthorized login attempts.

Many thanks all -- Fink is great!!
