Package: denyhosts
Version: Improvements to package description
Severity: minor
Here's an improved description:
Description: a utility to help sysadmins thwart ssh hackers
DenyHosts automatically blocks ssh brute-force attacks by
adding entries to /etc/hosts.deny. It also sends email
reports about offending hosts, attacked users and
suspicious logins.
.
Synchronization with a central server is also possible.
.
Unlike some similar software, denyhosts doesn't need
support for packet filtering or any other kind of firewall
in your kernel.
I think there's only one possibly contentious change, namely that I
deleted the mention of Python. This is because it's not a feature of
the program's functionality, and is visible anyway in the
dependencies. Users mostly want to know what the program does, not how
it is written (I don't understand why so many programs' descriptions
start out with "X is a Y program designed to...").
You might also want to change the first paragraph of the man page,
based on what I've written above.
