[cobalt-users] script to use log DENY to compile hosts.deny?

[Glenn Parsons <gparsons@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I am on two pipes to the Internet and one of them has a whole lot of ugly 
lurkers out there looking for something to trash. Most of my external 
traffic sits on the cleaner pipe,  but I have two eth interfaces that take 
a lot of abuse in a day.

Has anyone written a script to automatically add these bad IPs into a 
hosts.deny? I'm talking about parsing lines from logsentry to extract the 
IPs and insert in a hosts.deny. Any downside to doing this?

I'm going to have to do it myself. Will notify if I have to implement 
myself and post this somewhere.

Thanks,
Glenn
