In FreeBSD, /etc/rc.d is only for base stuff. Ported applications are
rooted in /usr/local (or where you configured them to be), so does
Denyhosts:
% ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
...
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 451B Jan 30 17:57 denyhosts*
...
That is the rc.d script. Getting it to start automatically is just a
matter of adding its enable variable in /etc/rc.conf:
denyhosts_enable="YES"
My configuration file is /usr/local/etc/denyhosts.conf, and I have this
setup working nicely for more than a year.
Hope that helps. :)
