Hi,

First off, thanks a lot for the script. Have been using denyhosts for a while but recently needed to mitigate more than one service at a time, so blockhosts is ideal. Great work.

I've just documented the steps I took to get BlockHosts up and running on FreeBSD, the article can be found here:

Block Brute Force Attacks Against sshd and proftpd Using BlockHosts on FreeBSD

The article covers in detail the installation and configuration of BlockHosts to track SSHD and ProFTPD brute force attacks.

Cheers.
