[PLUG] denyhosts and vsftpd

I've enabled vsftpd on a CentOS 5.2 machine and would like to block 
excessive ftp login attempts using denyhosts.  I already have 
denyhosts version 2.6 installed and blocking ssh.  I made these two 
changes to denyhosts.conf

BLOCK_SERVICE  = sshd,vsftpd
USERDEF_FAILED_ENTRY_REGEX=.* vsftpd: .* authentication failure.* 
ruser=(?P<user>\S+) rhost=(?P<host>\S+).*

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working.  Any ideas what I'm 
doing wrong?

thanks,
galen
