OK, it turns out that I was not, in fact, banning my workstation's IP because it is listed in allowed-hosts. But I *thought* I was banning myself because DH tries to ban me and sends me a notice that it has banned my workstation's IP. Within WORK_DIR, my workstation's IP is in: # grep "72.24.132.118" * allowed-hosts:72.24.132.118 hosts:72-24-132-118.cpe.cableone.net:527:Tue Jul 21 03:15:14 2009 hosts-restricted:72-24-132-118.cpe.cableone.net:0:Wed Jul 15 22:01:56 2009 hosts-root:72-24-132-118.cpe.cableone.net:0:Wed Jul 15 22:01:56 2009 hosts-valid:72-24-132-118.cpe.cableone.net:0:Wed Jul 15 22:01:56 2009 Binary file purge-history matches sync-received:72.24.132.118:Wed Jul 15 13:46:03 2009 So, although I'm not actually banned from my own server as I thought I was, the rest of the DH world received my IP in their sync! Once I received the banned notice, I stopped DH and turned off out-going sync but I was not, apparently, quick enough. I'm going to (again) stop DH, remove my IP from WORK_DIR, except for allowed-hosts, and restart again. I wonder how many of us are not banned from our own systems, because of allowed-hosts, but are banned on other DH users' systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Denyhosts-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/denyhosts-user
