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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
