Intro

We run a python script called "denyhosts.py" on our servers. This script looks at failed login attempts and if there are too many will deny all further access from that system.

Quick Install

The RPM is located at: einstein:/root/Packages/DenyHosts-2.6-python2.4.noarch.rpm

  1. Copy from einstein the /etc/denyhosts.conf file.
  2. Copy from einstein the /etc/sysconfig/denyhosts file.
  3. Copy from einstein the /usr/bin/denyhosts-control file.
  4. Copy from einstein the /etc/init.d/denyhosts file.
  5. Execute "chkconfig --add denyhosts; chkconfig --level 345 denyhosts on
  6. Start it up: service denyhosts start
