Editing configuration
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
like 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 # 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
like 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.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)
like 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 10:44:39 2013 | 192.168.n.n 192.168.n.n
and restart the service
this should be in editing the /etc/hosts.deny_ssh section --Larieu (talk) 03:24, 15 February 2013 (MST)
when your work will be terminated you should add it to the front page Stephdl (talk) 03:42, 15 February 2013 (MST)
