Open a SSH session, tail -F /bath/to/ssh.log, then load WinSCP. Then you'll know precisely what's causing Denyhosts to freak out. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Tyler Littlefield Sent: March 19, 2009 10:26 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: denyhosts quandry Hello list, I have a quick question. I am running denyhosts on my linux system, to try to keep out attackers from running a password cracker on my ssh. It's caught a few, but it seems to be screaming when I log in with win SCP. Basically, every time I log in, it just blocks my host out. Is there a way I can either get it to stop, or possibly set it to not block that host? I'm not sure why WIN SCP would trigger a denyhosts, as as far as I know, it runs when a password is incorrect. Unless win SCP sends an invalid login for some reason first, or something of that sort. Thanks, Tyler Littlefield Web: tysdomain.com email: tyler@tysdomain.com My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
