Thanks but now it seems I have even bigger problems. In your previous message you mentioned the latest version 2.0.1. I thought I already had that until I checked and found I had 1.4.0. I see from the version history that the very next one was the one with that extra .*? that you had helped me with last October. Anyway, I downloaded and installed the latest 2.0.1 version. I edited the blockhosts.cfg file and found that blockhosts is not happy. I went back to the default blockhosts.cfg that came with this 2.0.1 and tried running blockhosts.py --verbose --dry-run and that was ok. I started editing one item at a time in the cfg file and running the command again. When I added LOCKFILE = "/tmp/blockhosts.lock" I got an error about an invalid/unneeded definition. Most of the other items were ok until I uncommented the SSHD regexs. Then blockhosts was unhappy with AGE_THRESHOLD, COUNT_THRESHOLD, LOGFILES. Even just blockhosts.py --help gave this:
bash-3.00# blockhosts.py --help

bash-3.00#

In the installation requirements I see that Python has to be 2.3 or higher and I have 2.5.
