Marvin,

You have denyhosts configured to monitor '/var/log/messages' but failed login
attempts are being logged to '/etc/log/auth.log'.

In '/etc/denyhosts.conf' (or whatever file is used to configure denyhosts on
Ubuntu) set:

  # Ubuntu
  SECURE_LOG = /etc/log/auth.log
  # Redhat or Fedora Core:
  #SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure

and restart denyhosts.
