+# DAEMON_LOG_MESSAGE_FORMAT: when DenyHosts is run in daemon mode 
+# (--daemon flag) this specifies the message format of each logged
+# entry.  By default the following format is used:
+#
+# %(asctime)s - %(name)-12s: %(levelname)-8s %(message)s
+#
+# Where the "%(asctime)s" portion is expanded to the format
+# defined by DAEMON_LOG_TIME_FORMAT
+#
+# This string is passed to python's logging.Formatter contstuctor.
+# For details on the possible format types please refer to:
+# http://docs.python.org/lib/node357.html

+# This is the default:

+# SYNC_DOWNLOAD_RESILIENCY:  If SYNC_DOWNLOAD is enabled then the

+# Resiliency is defined as the timespan between a hackers first known

+# If the centralized   denyhosts.net server records an attack at 2 PM 
+# and then again at 5 PM, specifying a SYNC_DOWNLOAD_RESILIENCY = 4h 
+# will not download this ip address.

+# However, if the attacker is recorded again at 6:15 PM then the 
+# ip address will be downloaded by your DenyHosts instance.  
+#
+# This value is used in conjunction with the SYNC_DOWNLOAD_THRESHOLD 
+# and only hosts that satisfy both values will be downloaded.  
+# This value has no effect if SYNC_DOWNLOAD_THRESHOLD = 1 
+#
+# The default is SYNC_DOWNLOAD_RESILIENCY = 5h (5 hours)
+#
+# Only obtain hackers that have been at it for 2 days or more:
