Yes. Metalog is an alternative to syslog and is the standard logging agent on (some) Gentoo systems. Based on a patch contributed by Mike Kelly, DenyHosts 0.7 and greater will successfully parse syslog and metalog log formats. This feature is implemented in a seemless manner so there is no further configuration necessary in order to use DenyHosts with metalog.
