Debian Etch definitely has denyhosts (I just checked mine), and I hear
(though haven't yet verified) that Ubuntu Feisty and later also has it. 
I'll check that out on my Feisty box when I get to work.  However, I do
have a Dapper box handy, so I just now verified that Dapper does *not*
have it, at least on PowerPC (fail2ban is there, though, so we still win).

If your distro doesn't have it in the repositories, then just go here:

  http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/
