+Unlike the cluster which uses fail2ban to block ip addresses, if a user is prevented from connecting to star server
+the process is a little different.
+
+`star-server` uses the `denyhosts` service which adds the ip address to the file: `/etc/hosts.deny`
+
+However simply removing the ip address from this file is not sufficient. Firstly the denyhosts service has to be stopped by the following command:
+
+`$ systemctl stop denyhosts.sevice`
+
+Then the ip address has to be removed from the following files:
+
+`/etc/hosts.deny`
+`/var/lib/denyhosts/hosts`
+`/var/lib/denyhosts/hosts-restricted`
+`/var/lib/denyhosts/hosts-root`
+`/var/lib/denyhosts/hosts-valid`
+`/var/lib/denyhosts/users-hosts`
+
+The denyhosts service can then be restarted with:
+
+`$ systemctl start denyhosts.sevice`
+
+
