[TriLUG] protection against IPv6 attacks

Howdy folks. I'd like to do more IPv6, but Kevin Otte just pointed out
these bugs:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464135
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=470417

Which are denyhosts and fail2ban each failing to support IPv6. I'm not
particularly interested in answers like "I don't use IPv6," or "I put
[standalone firewall device from brand X] in front of my IPv6
machines." I'd like pointers to linux-land applications that already
do what denyhosts and fail2ban do, but also do it properly in
IPv6-land. Solutions that are distro-specific are acceptable, but an
application that is already packaged both for Debian and CentOS would
send me over the moon.

Cheers,
