[CentOS] BlockHosts with CenOS 4.4?

I'm trying (and failing) to use BlockHosts to stop thousands of FTP
login attempts. BlockHosts works fine with ssh but not with vsftp.

I've found the problem but not the solution at

Can anyone could help with either getting BlockHosts to work or
suggesting another method?
