Description KOVACS Tamas 2007-03-29 09:59:30 UTC 
Denyhosts does not handle the new log format introduced in OpenSSH 4.4 for login attempts involving users not in the AllowUsers, thus it can't block such attempts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable root login for ssh (sshd_config, "PermitRootLogin no")
2. Try to log in with root user through ssh

Actual Results:  
Running denyhosts, regex error reported on the login attempt with not allowed user.

Expected Results:  
After reaching the threshold, it should add the host to /etc/hosts.deny, and report it in the denyhosts logfile.
