Package: denyhosts Version: 2.6-10+deb7u3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
dh_reenable removes any IP (eg. 201.1.1.123) that contains the given IP (e.g 1.1.1.1). As a result many IPs might be removed from the blacklist unintentionally. cat /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts 10.1.100.80:0:Mon Jun 24 11:15:21 2013 110.1.100.70:0:Mon Jun 24 11:15:21 2013 210.1.100.71:0:Mon Jun 24 11:15:21 2013 10.1.100.81:0:Mon Jun 24 11:15:21 2013 /usr/share/denyhosts/DenyHosts/dh_reenable 10.1.100.7 Done!
