Additionally, DenyHosts is included in the Fedora Extras repository repository and should be accessible via yum and/or up2date. You can view the appropriate repository:

I'm not a Gentoo user so I can't provide a package for Gentoo. However, Mike Kelly has released a Gentoo package for DenyHosts.

This will probably happen in the future. I started making the rpms for libferris' dependancies well before Fedora started. There are many rpms that I have for the dependancies for libferris and it will take a while to feed them into the mainline Fedora project. The other point to note is that time spent packaging is time not spent coding and I tend to prefer the latter.

DenyHosts is a Python script that analyzes the sshd server log messages to determine what hosts are attempting to hack into your system. It also determines what user accounts are being targeted. It keeps track of the frequency of attempts from each host. Additionally, upon discovering a repeated attack host, the /etc/hosts.deny file is updated to prevent future break-in attempts from that host.

DenyHosts should work under Mac OS/X. You will have to edit your denyhosts configuration file (typically denyhosts.cfg) according to the Mac OS X version that you are running:

The users personal settings are stored in the /home/user directory, to backup the personal settings backup your /home/user directory, or you can mount your home direcotry in the separate parition to keep from erasing in the next installations, to backup your configurations you make to your fedora system backup the /etc directory which is the nervous system of fedora core, also you can backup your whole fedora partition read the faq 2.

if not, you may install the linux driver for your sound card see your sound card website, or install the alsa driver a linux sound driver that may work.

From the Applications menu open the internet then kppp, click on configure, in configuration window click on new, in modem tab click query modem, see if your modem is detected by fedora core, if reponse is modem not found or modem is busy, you need linux driver for your modem, download the driver from your modem official website or visit the http://linmodems.org or search the google.com, for lucent, Rockwell and conexant modems you can go to linuxant.com.

Fedora Core will not be sold through the retail channel as a shrinkwrapped box. There is no list price for Fedora Core. The rapid development pace we expect for Fedora Core doesn't suit retail distribution — it is a lot of work to get a box product in and out of the channel, and retail isn't set up to efficiently handle software that is updated as often as every six months.

Download and install the apt for your current fedora core version, and add the repositories for fedora core 6 to the /etc/apt/sources.list, or replace the old one with this new sources.list, remove the files form /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory, then run the apt with: The above will refresh the local cache for packages , so this should be run frequently or before each upgrade, read man apt-get for more help.

The users personal settings are stored in the /home/user directory, while the system all configuraion files are keep in the /etc directory the nervous system of linux, it is good idea to backup your /home/user and /etc directory, also it is possible to backup the whole linux parition to an image file read the faq 2.

Yum is the default installation and upgrade manager for fedora core, to run yum one should add the favourite repose like fedora core release, freshrpms, newrpms, dag, dries, livna and atrpms to the directory /etc/yum.repos.d. To add repos just download and install the each repo release rpm files, these will add the related repos to the /etc/yum.repos.d.

I run a number of Linux servers and I noticed that one of them was hacked into. Upon browsing my sshd log I noticed that the system was targeted for some time and eventually, somebody hacked out a password. Had I been using DenyHosts, that never would've happened (if only I had the foresight to write this script before my system was compromised!). I then looked at the logs of my other servers, and noticed hundreds of break-in attempts.

DenyHosts uses a simple configuration file. An example, denyhosts.cfg-dist is supplied in the distribution. This file should be copied to denyhosts.cfg and edited to match your system configuration.

Version 0.9.0 introduces daemon mode support. If you run DenyHosts with the --daemon flag, then DenyHosts will run constantly in the background. See the previous link for more details. In addition to the deamon mode, DenyHosts can also be run periodically from the command line. If you do not wish to use the daemon mode, then I recommend that DenyHosts be run from cron on a routine basis. DenyHosts is fairly lightweight and does not put an excessive drain on system resources.

With fedora core 4 installation cd's you can add or remove packages from Desktop-> System Sittings -> Add/Remove Packages or use yum, apt-get and smart to install the latest version from online. Top

Nearly all needed extra applications are compiled in thier binary forms for fedora core 4 by dag, dries, fedora extras, newrpms, freshrpms, nrpms, PlanetCCRMA and livna which are available from their repositories, to get these packages simply add these repositories to the yum.conf, apt sources.list or smart and then run the:

There is a bad interaction on Fedora between exec-shield, prelink, and any applications which use Windows DLLs (such as MPlayer). The problem is that exec-shield randomizes the load addresses of all the system libraries. This randomization happens at prelink time (once every two weeks). When MPlayer tries to load a Windows DLL it wants to put it at a specific address (0x400000). If an important system library happens to be there already, MPlayer will crash.

Fedora Core releases will be available as ISO images for both CDs and DVDs, and will also be available through other channels such as third-party online sales of physical media; distribution at Linux User Groups, included in magazines and in books, and maybe even handed out at trade shows. The bits may be actively pushed into content sharing networks such as BitTorrent. (Not all mechanisms will be used for each release, except that ISOs will be freely available for each release.

There might be. We do not know. In any case, even if they exist, Automatix2 does not have any connection with them.

No, you don't have to. You can if you want, or you can ask somebody else to maintain the package in EPEL for you. In some cases, you may be approached by a current EPEL maintainer who wants to maintain your package in EPEL. You can use a compatible derivative of RHEL for testing, it should be 100% compatible. Mock is available in Fedora and ships config files that can be used to test build the packages. All Fedora packagers can request EPEL branches in CVS via the normal procedure.

Assuming that you have logrotate installed on your system and is configured to use the /etc/logrotate.d directory for it's configuration files then you can simply create a file, /etc/logrotate.d/denyhosts, edit it and save it. If you have a nonstandard DenyHosts installation then you will need to account for this yourself.
