	Both denyhosts and fail2ban can be installed from yum or dnf; is 
the same then not true for CentOS?? It worked on my wife's machine. (I'm 
presently fighting a strike by the box on which I normally run CentOS on 
my desk in order to be familiar with her OS.) Maybe I have some repo set 
for it that you don't??
