New to denyhosts (and python for that matter) here and was looking  
through the archives for any info on getting denyhosts running in  
daemon mode on  Mac OS 10.5 Server.  I haven't seen anything specific  
to 10.5 and I can't seem to get it up and running.

Off the bat, there is no longer a /var/log/asl.log in 10.5, it's been  
replaced with a .db file => /var/log/asl.db that is binary.  It looks  
like sshd is still logging to /var/log/secure.log however and I've  
adjusted my cfg file accordingly.

When I attempt to launch denyhosts using the daemon-control script I  
get the following output before it exits abnormally:

###########

sh-3.2# ./daemon-control start
starting DenyHosts:    /usr/bin/env python /usr/bin/denyhosts.py -- 
daemon --config=/usr/share/denyhosts/denyhosts.cfg
Traceback (most recent call last):

line 60, in __init__

   File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/DenyHosts/deny_hosts.py",  
line 490, in init_regex
     self.__sshd_format_regex = self.get_regex('SSHD_FORMAT_REGEX',  
SSHD_FORMAT_REGEX)
   File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/DenyHosts/deny_hosts.py",  
line 486, in get_regex
     return re.compile(val)
   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/re.py", line 180, in compile
     return _compile(pattern, flags)
   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/re.py", line 233, in _compile
     raise error, v # invalid expression
error: unknown specifier: ?P&

###########


I take it that the line 164 error means I haven't configured the mail  
configuration properly, but I'm not sure what the other lines are  
saying...

After I get this up and running I'll tackle getting it to launch under  
launchd.

Many thanks--

Luke
