Like I said, I didn't really spend much time with DenyHosts and I didn't take the time to RTFM. So I certainly don't blame the app for my ignorance. The FAQ and documentation are really quite good. I just wanted to see how it ran "out of the box." It really is a nice little script, and I've been recommending it to people. Keep up the good work! :) Hi Phil,

For details see: http://www.denyhosts.net/faq.html#allowed Othewise, DenyHosts will certainly deny access from any ip address where the failed login attempts exceeds the respective threshold values.
