DenyHosts alternatives for RHEL3

Hugh,

You should be able to set up your CentOS box as a loghost and send your
logs that way.  There should be plenty of how-tos online.  It should not
need to be secured in transfer if it is on your lan, but if it is not,
there should be docs on tunneling that.  The man pages for syslog should
also have a nice description on setting that up.
