Talk:Denyhosts

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)
