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)?

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!
