Most of the time when I run an rpm install, I assume that the

That is generally not the case with rpms that install daemons.

1) I don't know what OS you're on, but I like to go through the package manager to install. Installing the generic rpm will probably work too, but I like the convenience of automatically updating all my software in one go.

        # yum install denyhosts

2) Then see if I want to modify the default configuration:

        # $FAVORITE_EDITOR /etc/denyhosts.conf

3) Then I start the daemon:

        #service denyhosts start
        (or # /etc/init.d/denyhosts start, if you like that better)

4) If everything is ok, I enable the daemon to start on boot:

        # chkconfig --level 345 denyhosts on

In my experience this is the standard way of installing daemons via rpm.
