Derek, I think Andrea meant the port security/denyhosts which monitors
your ssh port and adds dodgy IPs which attack 22 to hosts.allow (I
think - I haven't used it yet). Are you thinking of hosts.deny?

Yes I was, sorry for my mistake.

I guess you can configure it as to how it blocks the IPs.

Andrea, have a look at hosts.allow to see how it's blocking those IPs
and you should be able to remove them or relax the rules. You have to
give inetd a HUP to reread hosts.allow.

HTH.
