Every IP which logs in with ssh is being written to the hosts-restricted file, which has its own default deny value in the config DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED. If this value is lower is negates DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID.

    As another user, it's not clear to me what issue is being reported here. Are you saying that the behavior is different than described here http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#2_17 ?

    All IPs logging in are being added the restricted-usernames file automatically. If they are successful, they are being added as well.

    DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED - (New in v2.1) Applies to the optionally defined usernames in WORK_DIR/restricted-usernames. See restricted users for more details.

    Yes it is different than http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#2_17 . The faq says you can add hosts to the file hosts-restricted. Run a script to get a list to paste to the file. No where does it mentions, that this file is being modified on the fly by the program itself. In this case, every IP which logs is added to this file.
