If you want to delete a disabled Host IP address and add it to the allowed host instance table, it is useless to delete it only in/etc/hosts. Deny. Enter the/var/lib/denyhosts directory and perform the following operations:

1. Stop the denyhosts service: $ sudo service denyhosts stop

2. Delete the Host IP address you want to cancel in/etc/hosts. Deny.

3. Edit all the files in the denyhosts working directory
$ Sudo grep 192.168.1.191/usr/share/denyhosts/data /*

Delete the lines of the Host IP address in the file one by one:
*/Usr/share/denyhosts/data/hosts
*/Usr/share/denyhosts/data/hosts-restricted
*/Usr/share/denyhosts/data/hosts-Root
*/Usr/share/denyhosts/data/hosts-valid
*/Usr/share/denyhosts/data/users-hosts
4. Add the Host IP address you want to allow
/Var/lib/denyhosts/allowed-hosts

VI/usr/share/denyhosts/data/allowed-hostsps
# We mustn't block localhost
127.0.0.1
192.168.1 .*

5. Start the denyhosts service: Service denyhosts start
