Further it does not address clearing out the /etc/hosts.deny file as would be required sooner or later.

Actually denyhost can purge the hosts.deny file. One can control it with the PURGE_DENY directive in its config file: ,----[ Excerpt from /etc/denyhosts.cfg ] | # PURGE_DENY: removed HOSTS_DENY entries that are older than this time | # when DenyHosts is invoked with the --purge flag | # | # format is: i[dhwmy] | # Where 'i' is an integer (eg. 7). | # 'm' = minutes | # 'h' = hours | # 'd' = days | # 'w' = weeks | # 'y' = years | PURGE_DENY = 3d `---- Charles
