Denyhosts on FreeBSD 8
Lars Sommer, lasg@lasg.dk, 2011-06-20
Install the port security/denyhosts
Add to /etc/rc.conf
denyhosts_enable=”YES”
add syslogd_flags=”-c”
in /etc/hosts.allow add:
sshd : /etc/hosts.deniedssh : deny
sshd : ALL : allow
Or, if anything should be denied from these hosts who fails ssh login; insert ALL instead of sshd. If done so, change the BLOCK_SERVICE line in denyhosts.conf from sshd to ALL as well.
touch /etc/hosts.deniedssh
/etc/rc.d/syslogd restart
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/denyhosts start
