Denyhosts won't stop the attacks but it will help sshd know which IPs not to respond to (by populating the hosts.deny file). If the attacks are being stopped by sshd you won't necessarily get an e-mail; that is, denyhosts will only send an e-mail if it has been triggered, which is not going to be the same rate as sshd login attempts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
