Just to throw out a no-brainer, do you have "sshd server configured with tcp_wrappers support enabled" (from http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/requirements.html)? Rob Munsch wrote:
Hey all, I'm running OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-2, OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 and using DenyHosts ( http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net ) to stop dictionary attackers, worms, and other pests. However, i see denyhosts adding entries to hosts.deny at say 16:45, and the connection attempts from that same IP continue for a good 5-10 minutes - on the same host, random login attempts are still being logged uninterrupted to 16:50 or :55. Does sshd not honor hosts.deny entries? Is it my version of ssh? I've tried both ALL: and sshd: entries in hosts.deny, with no apparent change. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
