I've been using it on multiple servers for about 1.5 years now. Sometimes, I may get hit by up to ten or so attempts from different hosts that generate blocks; that's not so bad. Usually, it's far less than that. I've got mine set up to trip after 5 failures - I think the denyhosts daemon is checking the logs every 60 seconds, so, someone may get a couple of extra attempts in after the 5 before he's picked up. But once he's added to hosts.deny, he's history for awhile. The hosts.deny list seems to hover around 100 hosts at any given point, and ssh still seems fairly snappy when I connect, so I'm happy. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
