When I try to use blockhosts for vsftp I am allowed to give my username and password but then the session just hangs. The following is in my hosts.allow file:

vsftpd: ALL: spawn (/usr/bin/blockhosts.py --verbose --echo "%c-%s" >> /var/log/blockhosts.log 2>&1 )& : allow

and I changed the pattern in blockhosts.cfg to look like this:

"VSFTPD-Fail": re.compile(r"""vsftp\(pam_unix\)\[\d+\]: authentication failure; logname=\[(?P<user>.*)\] uid=\d+ euid=\d+ tty=\.* ruser=\.* rhost="(?P<host>\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})"""),

to match my entries in /var/log/messages which look like this

Dec 25 21:18:58 myhost vsftpd(pam_unix)[21989]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=210.118.217.194

Any thoughts?
