Hi all,

¿Is there any app like denyhosts[1] but intended for MySQLd service?

We have a mysql ports (3306) opened for remote connections, and 
obviously the /var/db/mysql/machine_name.log is full of these kind of 
entries:

...........
936012 Connect     Access denied for user 'user'@'85.19.95.10' (using 
password: YES)
936013 Connect     Access denied for user 'user'@'85.19.95.10' (using 
password: YES)
936014 Connect     Access denied for user 'user'@'85.19.95.10' (using 
password: YES)
936016 Connect     Access denied for user 'user'@'85.19.95.10' (using 
password: YES)
936018 Connect     Access denied for user 'user'@'85.19.95.10' (using 
password: YES)
936019 Connect     Access denied for user 'user'@'85.19.95.10' (using 
password: YES)
.............

The idea is blocking the abusive IPs in automated way.
