Hi All,
    Okay -- the files below (pointed out in Robert's message) were all found to be in place.  Also, based on the thread 


I changed:

SECURE_LOG = /var/log/asl.log   to    SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure.log

I also commented out the statement   SSHD_FORMAT_REGEX=        

Then, I ran the way Alexander did:

sudo denyhosts-py25.py -c /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25/denyhosts.cfg --daemon


It now appears that denyhosts finds the denyhosts.cfg file.  However, I get the error:

DenyHosts could not obtain lock (pid: 112)
[Errno 17] File exists: '/sw/var/run/denyhosts-py25.pid'


I think I might be getting closer but don't know what to do with this.  Any ideas??

thanks,
g

Glenn,

On my 10.4 system, I used these two files:

file 1:

$ cat /Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/daemonic-denyhosts-py25
#!/bin/sh
# startup script for service denyhosts-py25, created by daemonic

. /etc/rc.common

case "$1" in
   start)

     ConsoleMessage "Starting Denyhosts-py25"

     if [ -x /sw/bin/python2.5 ]; then
       # run the daemon
       /sw/bin/python2.5  /sw/share/denyhosts-py25/daemon-control-dist 
start --debug -c /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25/denyhosts.cfg &

     fi

     ;;
esac

exit 0

=====

file 2:

$ cat /Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/StartupParameters.plist
{
   Description = "Denyhosts-py25";
   Provides = ("daemonic-denyhosts-py25");
   Requires = ("Resolver");
   OrderPreference = "None";
   Messages =
   {
     start = "Starting Denyhosts-py25";
     stop = "Stopping Denyhosts-py25";
     restart = "Restarting Denyhosts-py25";
   };
}


====

Note the locations of the files and mind the line-wraps. You'll see that 
the location of the denyhosts.cfg file must be specified and that python 
was being invoked since DenyHosts is essentially just a python script.

Also, most or all of these files should be present on your system:

$ locate deny
/Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25
/Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/StartupParameters.plist
/Library/StartupItems/daemonic-denyhosts-py25/daemonic-denyhosts-py25
/private/etc/hosts.deny
/private/etc/hosts.deny.purge.bak
/private/var/at/at.deny
/sw/fink/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/denyhosts-py.info
/sw/fink/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/denyhosts-py.patch
/usr/lib/pam/pam_deny.so


Keep us posted. By the way, are you using 10.4 or 10.5?

Thanks.  When I execute /sw/bin/denyhosts-py25.py I get the error message:

Error reading file: denyhosts.cfg
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'denyhosts.cfg'


However, when I check the  /sw/etc/denyhosts-py25 directory, 
denyhosts.cfg is there.

Any ideas?

thanks,
g

That would make me suspect that the daemon is already
running for you, 
and it won't let you do a second instance.
