Stay in the loop…

Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

What others think

Fine.

Sugsestion :

to initialize the BASE_PATH variable, you could extract it from the denyhosts.conf file

BASE_PATH=$(awk -F' = ' '$1 == "WORK_DIR" { print $2 }')

Apologize :

BASE_PATH=$(awk -F' = ' '$1 == "WORK_DIR" { print $2 }' /etc/denyhosts.conf)

The script doesn't work with actual sh. It probably should start with

#!/bin/bash

Comment by agladysh 175 weeks and 2 days ago

It will be unfortunate for anyone who uses this script, as taking it out of /etc/hosts.deny is not enough. When they start the daemon back up, they'll notice the IP get blocked again. Probably best if you read the FAQ: http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#3_19.

You have 6 files to edit, before completely removing the IP address from denyhosts(8), and a 7th if you want to whitelist the IP.

ataponce, that's not what the script does. check out atrixnet.com for more details.

Comment by linuxrawkstar 83 weeks and 2 days ago

the script doesn't edit one file. take a look at the perl command in the script. it takes care of all the files it needs in order to really remove the lockout. thanks for your comments on the website.
