/etc/init.d/denyhosts restart

+
==== precaution ====
+
+
when you edit the /etc/hosts.deny_ssh
+
+
you should delete both the IP and commend line
+
otherwise it will not work
+
+
for example you want to let 192.168.3.3 to have access and you find this
+
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 19:03:30 2013 | 192.168.1.1
+
192.168.1.1
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 22:36:00 2013 | 192.168.2.2
+
192.168.2.2
+
# DenyHosts: Fri Feb 15 08:44:09 2013 | 192.168.3.3
+
192.168.3.3
+
# DenyHosts: Fri Feb 15 10:44:39 2013 | 192.168.n.n
+
192.168.n.n
+
+
if you delete only the IP (not the comment also) the block ban will not be raised for IP 192.168.3.3 after the restart of the service
+
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 19:03:30 2013 | 192.168.1.1
+
192.168.1.1
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 22:36:00 2013 | 192.168.2.2
+
192.168.2.2
+
# DenyHosts: Fri Feb 15 08:44:09 2013 | 192.168.3.3
+
# DenyHosts: Fri Feb 15 10:44:39 2013 | 192.168.n.n
+
192.168.n.n
+
+
or if you change to another IP it seems to don't work
+
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 19:03:30 2013 | 192.168.1.1
+
192.168.1.1
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 22:36:00 2013 | 192.168.2.2
+
192.168.2.2
+
# DenyHosts: Fri Feb 15 08:44:09 2013 | 192.168.3.3
+
192.168.a.a
+
# DenyHosts: Fri Feb 15 10:44:39 2013 | 192.168.n.n
+
192.168.n.n
+
+
you should delete both lines (IP + comment)
+
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 19:03:30 2013 | 192.168.1.1
+
192.168.1.1
+
# DenyHosts: Thu Feb 14 22:36:00 2013 | 192.168.2.2
+
192.168.2.2
+
# DenyHosts: Fri Feb 15 10:44:39 2013 | 192.168.n.n
+
192.168.n.n
+
+
and then restart the service
/etc/init.d/denyhosts restart
/etc/init.d/denyhosts restart
