Looks fine, but don't touch any of those files, don't mind about the format, its for the program use and you are only asking for trouble if you move things. > These messages appear in the denyhosts log file: > > 2007-09-12 16:42:49,848 - filetracker : DEBUG get_offset(): > 2007-09-12 16:42:49,848 - filetracker : DEBUG offset: None And that was running DenyHosts normally or with the "--ignore --debug" options? If --ignore was used the answer is obvious, no offset is used, if not then DenyHosts' log should show (non debug log) something like: Sep 12 14:06:16 - denyhosts : INFO Processing log file (/var/log/messages) from offset (65358) -- René Berber ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
