[Denyhosts-user] Prevent Banning Myself

[Marconi <ma...@ma...>]

What must I do to prevent banning my own workstation, even if I have 
failed log-ins to my server?

I have my IP in allowed-hosts but I was still banned today when I 
didn't get the password right when trying to log in (as root) via ssh.



Is there some setting I'm missing?

Yes, I DO want to ban other IPs which try to log in as root, but not my own.
