Hello Everyone,

I'm running RHEL 4 and I'm trying to get some input on how people automate populating the /etc/hosts.deny file? I currently use logwatch and manually add the entry but would like some way to pro-actively act. Any tools daemons, scripts to help achieve this? I am using IPtables as a firewall

Look at an app in extras called "denyhosts".
