Denyhosts displaying warning message for users blocked

Hi,

I have a dilemma.I am running denyhosts on one of our servers and it monitors illegal ssh/ftp loggins. I am running vsftpd.

My manager though has put an additional requirement on me. When someone is blocked my denyhosts he want an error message to be displayed: " YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DISABLED DUE TO TOO MANY UNSUCCESSFUL LOGGINS. Try again in five minutes.

Anyway to go about this?
