I tried it and it works pretty well. Though I realized afterwards that it's overkill for me, because I'm the only person who accesses my server and I only connect from a handful of machines - thus I can simply put a "deny all" rule in my hosts.deny and then enable access from specific hosts using rules in hosts.allow But thanks for pointing out DenyHosts, as it caused me to see how many people were trying to crack into my box and I took some measures to lock things down (more about it at my blog).

Looks like DenyHosts beat me to that one. Maybe I'll still do it for kicks. In the meantime, I'll have to try this out. Thanks!
