Maybe I missed something in my setup? hosts.deny and hosts.allow are part of TCP wrappers. AFAIK, you have to build ssh with support for it, to use these files. The ssh "attacks" are part of a "script-kit" or worm trying to break in through weak passwords and/or older ssh (v1). These attacks are filling up the logs that is for sure. :( Sincerely, R.
