Denyhosts in AL9 - depreciated or not available?

Support
1

I’m building out AL9 and could not find denyhosts with dnf. Has this package been removed or depreciated with AL9? If so what has taken it’s place if anything?

2

Was that a separate package? On what distros/repos?
What did it do?

denyhosts info
When I installed it on COS7 I just used yum install denyhosts and it found it. Not sure if it was from the COS repo or getting it from elsewhere. Current AL9
dnf list --available | grep denyhosts
returns nothing.

Websearch for “denyhosts rpm” yields: https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=denyhosts , https://pkgs.org/download/denyhosts and Overview - rpms/denyhosts - src.fedoraproject.org

Dag’s (now discontinued) repo had package for el7. Perhaps that is what you did use.

Fedora’s description, written five years ago:

Denyhosts is unmaintained upstream and does not support systemd or firewalld. Please use Fail2Ban.

The fail2ban is in EPEL:

$ dnf -q --enablerepo=epel list fail2ban\*

thanks jlehtone, I’ll look into fail2ban again. I had forgotten about that. Much Grass.
