+Notes about sync
+----------------
+Denyhosts can communicate with a remote server to exchange information about
+blocked hosts.  This functionality is disabled by default.  The maintainers of
+this package in Fedora do not recommend enabling the sync functionality for the
+following reasons:
+
+*) It has been linked to hangs and crashes of the daemon.  The upstream
+   developers have not been able to fix these issues.
+
+*) The server itself is closed-source, so these problems cannot be debugged
+   from the server end by anyone other than the upstream developers.
+
+If you choose to enable the sync functionality, please do the following:
+
+*) Watch your denyhosts daemon carefully.  If it exits inexplicably or hangs,
+   attempted ssh hacks will not be blocked automatically.
+
+*) Report issues to the upstream developers (at http://denyhosts.sf.net).
+   Please do not report issues to Fedora; we cannot fix them.
+
+Denyhosts has proven to be very stable when sync functionality is not enabled.
+
