Remove IP blocked by DenyHosts

linux

Wow, this is annoying....

sudo service denyhosts stop  # or whatever
sudo vim /etc/hosts.deny
sudo vim /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts
sudo vim /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts-restricted
sudo vim /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts-root
sudo vim /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts-valid
sudo vim /var/lib/denyhosts/users-hosts
sudo vim /var/lib/denyhosts/allowed-hosts # optionally add here
sudo service denyhosts start
