DENYHOSTS(8)							   User Commands						      DENYHOSTS(8)

NAME

       DenyHosts - version: 2.6

DESCRIPTION

       DenyHosts is a python program that automatically blocks ssh attacks by adding entries to /etc/hosts.deny.  DenyHosts will also inform Linux
       administrators about offending hosts, attacked users and suspicious logins.

       Usage: /usr/sbin/denyhosts [-f logfile | --file=logfile] [ -c configfile | --config=configfile] [-i | --ignore] [-n | --noemail]  [--purge]
       [--migrate] [--daemon] [--sync] [--version]

       --file:
	      The name of log file to parse

       --ignore: Ignore last processed offset (start processing from beginning)

       --noemail: Do not send an email report

       --unlock: if lockfile exists, remove it and run as normal

       --migrate: migrate your HOSTS_DENY file so that it is suitable for --purge

       --purge: expire entries older than your PURGE_DENY setting

       --daemon: run DenyHosts in daemon mode

       --foreground: run DenyHosts in foreground mode

       --sync: run DenyHosts synchronization mode

       --version: Prints the version of DenyHosts and exits

       Note: multiple --file args can be processed.  If multiple files are provided, --ignore is implied

       Note: in a debian system, the default running mode is daemon mode and the configuration file is etc/denyhosts.conf

   When run in --daemon mode the following flags are ignored:
       --file, --purge, --migrate, --sync, --verbose
