Hi,

I'm using a mac with OS X 10.5.5, and recently installed denyhosts, however
i'm not sure if its working properly.  I've received lots of attempts to
login to the ssh server from different ip addresses, in some cases even
hundreds from the same ip address.  I'm launching denyhosts via
daemon_control and starts right up with no errors.  Below is the a clip from
/var/log/denyhosts So everything seems to be working properly, however there
are times when my logfile turns offer from failed login attempts from the
same ip address and when i grep for that ip address in /etc/hosts.deny its
not found . The Deny_invalid_threshold is set to 3.  So i'm not sure if its
working at all.  I did add the correct Mac OS X related string to
denyhosts.cfg at the bottom (the one on the FAQ page produced errors )


So my question is. Is there a way to test to see if denyhosts is working
properly or working at all on my system ?  Just for the fun of it, since the
threshold is set for failed login attempts at 3 i tried to login from
another server 30-40 times unsuccessfully with non existant usernames to see
if that would block my ip address and it hasn't. Tried root as well and no
luck.  I'm thinking its probably not reading secure.log correctly.   Any
help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance.
