Thank you for upgrading this to v6.1!
I'm receiving an error when the deaemon is trying to purge hosts.deny. Do I need to change permissions in my /etc directory to allow DenyHosts to write to the file?
The denyhosts.out log is:
2016-04-05 07:57:45,772 - denyhosts : INFO new denied hosts: ['113.183.70.101', '113.190.244.206', '193.201.227.175', '185.110.132.54', '14.182.86.235']
