[PLUG] PLUG Digest, Vol 68, Issue 31

Wed May 19 20:18:57 UTC 2010

marvin,

interesting... now that u mention it -- I too am seeing intermittent
timeouts in my denyhosts log when it is attempting to sync here and there.
actually, ALL sync attempts from one of my servers starting on May 17th
@ 15:24 (PST) up through today May 19th @ 09:44 (PST) failed with the
similar log entries you show. my last failure actually says "sync       
: ERROR    [Errno 111] Connection refused"
it appears now all is well, as of my last sync attempt = May 19th @
12:45 it was successful.
so you definitely weren't the only one. thanks to your post, I wouldn't
have even known the sync server was down (which is my suspicion).
denyhosts appears to be working for me now, I hope yours is workin' now too.

:: here's a couple examples of the failures ::
