Hello list,

I have a question about how to remove a certain host from the blocking
process. I have followed the documented procedure as I have found it on
the website and explained here on the mailing list archive, and I think I
did everything the right way, yet the host is still automatically added to
/etc/hosts.deny.

Background:
I have installed denyhosts on an openSUSE 10.3 machine and it works
nicely. This machine is my home machine, and I like to connect to it from
work. However, I recently managed to lock myself out from work, while
testing denyhosts.
Of course, I would now like to unblock my IP from work, but no such luck.
What I have done to achieve this:

- Stop de denyhosts daemon.
- Remove the host from /etc/hosts.deny
- Added the host to /[WORK-DIR]/allowed-hosts
- Removed the host from all other files in /[WORK-DIR]
- Removed the offending lines from the syslog so it would not be picked up
again by denyhosts
- Started the denyhosts daemon

I was under the impression that this would prevent my host from being
blocked, but unfortunately, the next time the daemon completes its run, it
is added again to /etc/hosts.deny.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated,

Joop
