Mavericks and hosts.deny
I have a perl script that monitors system.log for sshd connections and throttles bogus connections. When a bogus connection is observed, it adds the appropriate IP address of the offending connection to /etc/hosts.deny. After 15 minutes, the entry is then removed.
This has worked fine for Mac OS X versions < 10.9. However, 10.9 doesn't seem to be honoring /etc/hosts.deny. Is there a way to enable the behavior of the previous OSes?
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
