yum list denyhosts
Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, fastestmirror, priorities, security
2 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Installed Packages
denyhosts.noarch                       2.6-5.el5                       installed

Which is the repo, he asks innocently. Or will that work only for
uninstalled packages?

Or only in the installed?

 rpm -qi denyhosts

Summary     : A script to help thwart ssh server attacks
Description :
DenyHosts is a Python script that analyzes the sshd server log
messages to determine which hosts are attempting to hack into your
system. It also determines what user accounts are being targeted. It
keeps track of the frequency of attempts from each host and, upon
discovering a repeated attack host, updates the /etc/hosts.deny file
to prevent future break-in attempts from that host.  Email reports can
be sent to a system admin.

Hmmm.... still not seeing a repo. No doubt I could find some version
of an rpm at http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/, but can I be sure it
is identical to the one on the centos repos?

See above, no repo info found in rpm -qi output.

Thanks,
