p.s.
OK, I was able to get to work by just starting out with a blank
hosts.allow. Everything is allowed by default, so when denyhosts adds a
deny line to the file, it will deny access to that host.
Also, sshd can't be started in rc.conf, it has to be started in
inetd.conf. Make sure you do a /etc/rc.d/inetd restart after you make
changes.
