This is a really strange one.  A while back I was using gftp to connect to a
system running denyhosts and entered a bad password.  Of course it retried
enough times to cause denyhosts to say "enough" and add my address into the
deny.hosts file.  Since then, when I remove it manually from the
deny.hostsfile, it puts it right back in as soon as I attempt to
connect, even when I
only attempt once and even when the attempt should be successful.  I have
added both the ip address and the fqdn (exactly as it is in deny.hosts) to
the allowed-hosts file, which is located in /usr/share/denyhosts.  That
seems to be the denyhosts root.

I even logged in from another system, removed the entry in the
hosts.denyfile and attempted to log in from the failing domain.
Denyhosts almost
immediately puts it right back in.

allowed-hosts contains:

adsl-065-013-xxx-xxx.sip.asm.bellsouth.net
65.13.xxx.xxx

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim
