Description

• Denyhosts bans hosts which failed too many login attempts to your ssh deamon.
• It contains also a panel in the server manager to see who is blocked, add some allowed hosts not to block and enable or disable the service.

it needs the packages smeserver-denyhosts and denyhosts

Installation

1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.

2. Install smeserver-denyhosts

yum install smeserver-denyhosts --enablerepo=smecontribs

You will get a y/N-question, answer y if it looks fine.

3. Instructions at the end of previous installation advices the following commands:
signal-event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot
but you can skip that for the moment.

4. Open your webbrowser and go to the server-manager.
Under "Security" there should be a new line named "SSH Denyhosts".

You should go to it and configure all necessary allowed host before enabling the service

5. to finish you should do

signal-event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot

or you might avoid it, unless it is NOT RECOMMENDED by doing this:

signal-event conf-denyhosts

Alternatively you can use the server-manager panel "Software installer" to add a new package and select smeserver-denyhosts, instead of steps 1 to 3, then refresh your browser and configure denyhosts, before doing the post-upgrade and reboot job in the panel "Reboot or shutdown"

Uninstall

yum remove smeserver-denyhosts denyhosts

or alternatively just remove them from the server-manager "Software installer"
