This seems like a better job for 'uniq', which will show only unique 
lines in a file.

# sort hosts.deny | uniq > hosts.deny.new

I typically run 'sort' before 'uniq' because it seems that uniq looks 
for repeated lines, and if you happen to have the same line in 
different places in the file it may not catch it as a duplicate.
