Adding a host to the /etc/hosts.deny file does much more than prevent my logs from filling up. It's not filling my logs because the offending host is no longer accessing my server.
Not really.
It stops that offender, at least for some time. It will not stop the thousand more offenders out there. It is not a final solution.
My only concern was to discourage the offenders that try to get into my system. I know there are many more out there. -- Louis Richards
