First: You are asking on-list. Not only is it polite but also considerate, you might even say a whole lot less selfish,
not to expect private replies on a public list, let alone ask for them.


What version of OS X, 10.4 ? Since it uses neither netfilter nor iptables (but ipfw), it looks like you'll need to use tcpwrapper which 10.4 does not by default. Perhaps there's good reason for it - others can speak to that better than I.

I did setup DenyHosts (using tcpwrapper) on a 10.3 system (by request) but the unit now runs 10.4.x and (not only for that reason) I moved to controlling ssh access via key-only access, limiting by IP at the firewall, as well as limiting by ip and/or username in sshd_config.

Fail2ban is interesting and I (and you might have considered perhaps a few might be) am interested in what others have to say in reply -
IE: not to you privately.
