Is denyhosts just automatic?
Look in the directory /usr/share/doc/denyhosts* (the * is because I don't know what version you have) Read README.txt and README.fedora. Look at this web site: <http://www.howtoforge.com/preventing_ssh_dictionary_attacks_with_denyhosts> > How do I change the port number of sshd? What are the pros and cons? You probably don't need to do that. It's sort of a belt and suspenders proposition. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
